We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mario's place. Mere steps from the Piazza San Marco, it is perfectly located to see all the touristy sites of Venice. The old-fashioned decor suits its locale perfectly, but the apt has all the modern amenities you'll need. Traveled with my husband and mother who's visiting us in Europe, and it was great to have 2 separate rooms for privacy, but be able to stay together. I didn't realize how happy I would be about the AC, which my mother insisted on, but it was very much appreciated since temps were in the 90sF/30sC this weekend in Venice. I would recommend this spot without hesitation and definitely stay again if we return to Venice.
