Mario gave us perfect simple directions & met us at the Vaporetto stop. It was easy. Mario made sure we noted the turns (3) & views as we walked to the apartment, having us look in both directions at turns, pointed out coop grocery, "See this," framing views, etc. so we wouldn't get lost. He pointed the way to San Marcos & other attractions. Mario was really nice & efficient. He showed us how to use the stove, wi-fi & mosquito light. His apartment was wonderful, just as listed, and exciting on the canal. He allowed luggage drop-off early. Breakfast food and soap options helped make our stay in Venice great.
