I can highly recommend Mario’s place. The pre-stay interaction was excellent; Mario was quick to respond to my late check-in requirements and also booked a water taxi from the airport to the apartment on my behalf. Coming off a late night flight and being ferried straight to the door of the apartment was well worth the money. Jacinthe greeted us at the mooring and showed us round the apartment while providing a good overview of the neighbourhood and the rest of Venice. The location is excellent; views of the Grand Canal from the living room with the two bedrooms overlooking a small, very quiet square. If you like a quiet / peaceful environment - this place is ideal; away from the crowds but a short walk to good restaurants and shops, and onwards to all the attractions the city has to offer. Vaporetto stops nearby. Easy access to the mainline station and road access. The apartment is spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Air con works very well - and quietly. I really cannot fault this place, so a strong 5-stars from me.
