Marco greeted us at the train station like I read from his review. I traveled four counties during this long trip and he is the only host that welcomes you in person, so I was impressed.
Marco told us that we had to walk for about 15 minutes and crossed over 5 bridges. So, you think that 15 minutes of walk is trivial. If you carry heavy bags, you should be aware of that, this is not an easy task especially if you are old or out of shape. Why? because each bridge has multiple steps. Unless you have big wheels on your bags, you have to lift them and carry them over. Now, this was not fun after getting off the long train journey, especially in a hot day with a lot of crowd. Of course, you can minimize this problem if you take a boat and get off at Campo di San Silvestro and walk to the place. It is better to depart from here when you leave.
Marco is very friendly, he explained many places as we passed by, but how could I remember all the places that he mentioned. So, after arriving the place we asked him for more details and he made a lot of good suggestions.
The place is in the middle of the island, and you will not get exciting views. The place is large and have two bathrooms, which is quite nice. The place was clean and seemed like well maintained. Though, because of the rather midly warm weather and the lack of incoming sunlight, the place has more than usual moisture. You can change the inside air probably using an A/C or heating system.
One thing I would like to point out is that you should be aware of mosquitos. There are not screens on windows so if you leave the window open, you will get a lot of mosquitos. I got bitten more than 9 times in two days until I removed them all. Mosquitos loved me but not my wife.
