This was a perfect place in Venice, especially if you want to be near St. Mark’s. From the start Dario was a fantastic host! He met us at the boat taxi stop and led us to the apartment. Visiting along the way was enjoyable and he made sure to point out landmarks to help us find our way to the apartment. Once there he showed us all we needed to know about the place. Everything was as the posting in Airbnb described. Dario even gave us a restaurant recommendation that was nearby and one of the best we’ve had in Venice (Osteria da Carla). The typical Italian stove top coffee maker sufficed until we were ready to go out to a cafe. There is a washer for running clothes but you’ll need to be prepared to hang dry your clothes (not uncommon but allow for the drying time). The couch unfolds into a bed and our son slept well there as we were in the main bedroom. Dario responded quickly throughout our stay and was especially helpful in giving us guidance concerning how to get from Venice to the train station. The location was incredible as well as the price. If we return to Venice in the future we will book here again if at all possible.
