I stayed at Mario's apartment in July along with four friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying here. We were travelling to Venice for the Biennale and this apartment was perfect for us. It was very well placed, just a few mins walk from both the Arsenale and Giardini. Great to be so close to shops and restaurants on Via Garibaldi too but well positioned in a quiet side street over looking a canal so very quiet at night. We appreciated staying away from the crowds and were able to get to Rialto and San Marco in just a few mins by vaporetto or by walking along the water front. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make both breakfasts and evening meals. The beds were comfortable and three shower/bathrooms had plenty of hot water for showers. We were grateful for the aircon in the living room and by keeping the doors ajar to the bedrooms this helped us stay cooler at night also. An excellent apartment, I would very much recommend it.
