Mario's place is in the perfect location to anyone coming into Venice from Marco Polo or the train station. Why would you want to carry your bags up and down the stairs when you could be a 5 minute walk from the bus drop off. The apartment is a very nice size and has all the amenities you'll need. It is clean modern and it felt like home. Mario and Gabriella thank you for allowing my wife and I to become honorary Venetians for a few days. We so look forward to visiting again.
