Wow! Due to an unfortunate situation at our original accommodation (outside of the control of the host), we were relocated to this accommodation. Mario contacted us as we were in Florence and offered this relocation. While we were unsure at first, we were reassured of the location and the amenities, and since our communication with Mario had been effective and accommodating, we accepted the relocation. We were not disappointed. The new location was in a classic Venetian building off of a side canal, Quiet, refined, and a 5 minute walk to the nearest vaporetto stop (Riva de Biasio), we were very happy. While not the most updated accommodation, we were thrilled to be there. Quiet, looking into a beautiful garden and with a strong Internet connection and charming furnishings, we had no complaints and were charmed by the location. Highly recommend this accommodation and thank Mario for accommodating us given the last minute change.
