We stayed Mario's place 4 nights prior to our cruise trip. We chose Mario's apartment because it closes to both Train station and Cruise port, both are within 10 minute walking distance. Both P. le Roma and S. Toma are also close by enough to catch the local public ferry - Vaporetto to visit Venice attractions. We met Mario's wife Giovanna during the check-in. She is very friendly and provided us very useful information about the local convenient stores, restaurants, transports and etc... Mario's house is big. There are kitchen, dinning doom and living room. There is also a washing machine in the bathroom and it was really helpful. We were very happy to stay in Mario's house and highly recommended it.
