Fantastic apartment in the center of Venice. Close proximity to Rialto Bridge, restaurants, shops, etc. Mario was a great host. He met us at the train station, walked us to the apartment, pointed out key spots on the map and made sure we were comfortable before departing. It was a perfect place for my two young kids, wife and I. The separate bedroom downstairs was great for the kids and the spot was very quiet and comfortable. The air conditioning worked great, which was important during the summer. Be careful when working the laundry machine. It can trip the breaker, but it can easily be reset at the fuse box downstairs. Would highly recommend to anyone!
