Mario was a fantastic host in terms of communications and helping us plan our stay. From the very beginning and through our entire time there, Mario set up our transportation from the train station to the unit, from the unit to the other train station, and including both water taxis and a car taxi. Having not been to Venice before, it was a little nerve-wracking for us when it came to using the water taxis, but it all worked fine. Now we know for next time!
He also provided a long list of recommended restaurants.
The unit itself is very comfortable, good lighting, plenty of storage space and just about anything w needed during our week there. We are very particular about the firmness of a bed, and although we couldn't know until we got there, it was perfect. We slept really well during stay. The apartment had plenty of space, was comfortable in terms of the furniture, and had the needed kitchen items for living there. The bathrooms had really good fixtures, great shower and plenty of hot water.
The apartment was quiet and it was so central to the main places, just a few minutes walk to the St. Marks Square and the Doge's Palace.
Highly recommend Mario's apartment!
