First visit to Venice and stayed with Marino and would definitely stay again. The apartment is located about 20 minutes from the tourist part of Venice. The apartment is gated with private parking. The apartment is very clean and has one AC unit that cools off most of the apartment. That was a great amenity due to the fact that it was in the mid 90s while we were there. We were met by a lovely young lady who explained all the apartment’s amenities and also explained how to save money and stress by buying the bus ticket with water taxi for 20 euros per person. It was well worth it because it is unlimited use for 24 hours. We bought them the night before at the tobacco shop across from the apartment. There is a very good Italian restaurant about 400 meters from the Apartment as well as a supermarket about 5 minutes away walking. The bus stop to Venice is a 1 minute walk and saved us the hassle of driving to Venice and paying 30 euros for parking. My next visit to Venice I will definitely use Marino’s place and wholeheartedly recommend staying there. It’s not cheap but well worth it.
