Our stay was amazing! Mauro’s place was perfectly located - right next to the Biennale, but still in a quiet, residential neighborhood, away from the tourists. The apt had everything we needed. Mauro as a host went above our expectations- he was super communicative and willing to help, and when we first checked in he waited for us at the apartment to show us everything and then proceeded to sit with us and map out his recommendations for places around the neighborhood to eat, drink and see. We followed those recommendations and had a fantastic Venice experience. Highly recommended!
