We had a super time with Mario! First we couldn't stay in the apartment shown as it was expected to flood in Venice over the weekend, so Mario put us up in another one of his nice apartments! He then proceeded to take us on a short tour of the city and introduced us to some traditional Venitian food and drink. On the last day he came and took me to an Internet cafe so I could print my bus ticket and was very hospitable. We had a great experience wth Mario and will definitely stay at one of his apartments when we come back to Venice!
