We stayed at Mario's apartment during our honeymoon--It was in a quiet neighborhood, which isn't too far from the Ospedale Vaporetto stop. We arrived late at night, and Mario met us at the stop to take us to the apartment. The apartment is right on the canal, where you could watch the boats passing by! It was an easy walk to San Marco Square and Rialto Bridge. There is a great restaurant nearby that Mario recommended where the service and food were great! The apartment felt very traditional and authentic!
