Mariano maintained excellent email correspondence ahead of our trip to ensure we had suitable maps to find the apartment!
The apartment itself is delightful, full of character and spacious enough for 6 guests. The area the apartment is located in is away from the tourist crowds with a good selection of bars and excellent restaurants to see an authentic side of Venice whilst still being walking distance from the main attractions of St Mark's and the Rialto Bridge.
Overall we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Mariano as host and his apartment as the perfect base for a Venetian break!
