The host also owns a hotel next to the apartment which was such a personable and professional experience! There were nice touches like extra pillows and blankets, and Mario's son Diego gave us a map with a recommended walking tour which we are glad we followed because it lead us to less populated piazzas and stunning scenes. Plus, we got the breakfast buffet at the hotel and we looooved the Italian cheese and pastries (plus eggs, yogurt, cereal etc). We also heard the gondaliers sing through the canal, which was amazing. The only thing to note, is that the double bed is actually two mattresses pushed together under one sheet, so the mattresses separated whilst sleeping. I would definitely stay here again.
