We had a good stay, the apartment is actually much nicer than it looks on the pictures! The area was more for locals so the price of food etc were less extortionate than the rest of venice, and it was nice to get away from the ridiculous amount of tourists (mainly fat Americans waddling around at 0.0001mph) that lined the streets everywhere else (it was venice in august after all). Mario was so nice and helpful, advising us on how to get to Venice then meeting us off the water taxi. His English was not fluent but he still told us everything we needed to know and I can't think of anything he could have done more! Perfect host
