Marino was a perfect host - he was waiting at the dock for us with a big smile, and walked us straight to the flat. He'd put some cold drinks in the fridge and provided pastries for breakfast!
It's a lovely flat in a perfect area - you are within a couple of minutes walk to some great bars for a cheap local experience of spritz and cichetti. It's quiet in the flat and easy to sleep - the temperature was comfortable and there were no Mosquitos (we stayed there in September).
For us it was a perfect location - you can walk to the main sites within twenty minutes, but it feels like a real neighbourhood experience away from the worst of the crowds.
One tip - we took a private water taxi from the airport, as recommended on some forums. Not really worth it for the money, if you're staying in this area, as it's so close to the airport you don't get such a long ride and don't see inside the city!
