Mario was a helpful and kind host. He met us at the water bus station and gave us directions to things we would need along our walk (supermarket, restaurants, site seeing). He was also very clear in providing and ensuring we understood the instructions for the apartment.

The apartment was as advertised, clean and with an AMAZING view. He left the necessities and a delicious breakfast for the next morning.

The neighbourhood was bright during the day, a short walk to the majority of the site seeing attractions. At night, the apartment was located in a bit of a dark alleyway, something to consider if you are traveling alone.

The only suggestion we have for the apartment is for perhaps an investment in a fan for the bedroom. Since the bedroom faces the alley, we had to close the windows in order to block out any noise, but it got hot in there very quickly. Also leaving the lovely canal windows open is a great experience, although we ended up with quite a few mosquitos that left their mark (nothing Mario can do about that one, but something to be aware of all the same).

All in all it was a great apartment, we enjoyed ourselves and a nice place to rest our weary feet after following the traditional tourist attraction of getting lost in Venice :)
