Staying with Mauro and his wife was a fantastic experience. Everything about my little vacation was perfect, besides beautiful Venice and beautiful weather, I stayed in a beautiful home with the nicest people you can imagine. Best instructions to their place I've ever received, most helpful advice once I arrived and calling the apartment clean is an understatement. It was spotless! While you are not right in the usually very crowded city center of Venice, you are only a quick and cheap 20 minute bus ride away from it. Easy to get to from the airport as well. All in all: highly recommended! Mille grazie to the lovely hosts. :)
