Marino was a friendly and helpful host. He waited for us as planned, although we were a bit late, and he left us with a few soft drinks in the fridge, an appreciated welcome gift. In addition, he gave useful directions. The apartment is clean, spacious, and very well located: quiet and yet close to two water taxi stops, nice bars and restaurants, as well as the major touristy stuff. Overall a great base of operations to explore Venezia!
