Finally, your chance to live like a Venetian! A rich, erudite, cultured, Venetian.
If you stay via AirBnB much, you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say that the average AirBnB has only the bare minimum of kitchen utensils. If the place sleeps four, there are four plates; nothing extra to use as a serving plate, etc.
At Mario’s place, you’ll feel like you’re staying at your friend’s apartment. (If, you know, your friend was the kind of person who liked music, antiques, and had pictures of the queen of England and Hemingway on his wall.) VERY well appointed kitchen. Lovely bedrooms overlooking a canal; classy bathrooms. Nice art. This feels like a real person’s apartment, not a quickie redo with Ikea furniture in order to make a quick buck.
Like all of Venice, some deferred maintenance. But we were very comfortable here.
An excellent location; a canal on one side, a piazza on the other. Easy walk to Rialto and Fondamente Novi. I would stay here again in an instant.
