Simply put, Mario is a wonderful host and the apartment is fantastic. I might be easily amused but if we didn't have to leave I would have been happy waving to boats and adoring the canal view from his kitchen for days! Mario was kind enough to give us detailed directions and even pick us up at the vaporetto. The apartment is in a great location - easily accessible yet a bit off the beaten paths. Stay with Mario for an unforgettable Venice experience.
