I stayed at Marino's apartment last week while visiting Venice with my husband and teenage son and it was great! It was our first AirBnB experience and Marino made us feel right at home. He provided clear instructions for how to get from the airport to the closest Vaporetto stop, and personally walked us to the apartment while sharing stories about his life and family. We felt like we made a friend!
The apartment location was perfect. It was in a residential neighborhood away from the crowded tourist areas, but close enough to walk every where we wanted to go. It was also very convenient to the boat to Burano and Murano which I highly recommend. The apartment was clean and he left us milk in the refrigerator and showed us where to find the bakery and the local fruit market for breakfast. He also left ice cream treats in the freezer which we enjoyed in addition to eating gelato twice a day at a fabulous place just a short walk from the apartment.
Everything was clean and the air conditioning and shower worked well, too. I would definitely recommend this apartment if you are traveling to Venice. Just the right size for three people.
