Mauro's apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location away from the hub bub of touristy Venice, but near enough to walk to the centre, St Marks Square. It is most convenient for the Venice Biennale - between the Giardini and the Arsenale. It is very quiet as it is a local area. It has all facilities, modern conveniences, comfy bads, and very clean. There are many good restaurants and shops nearby. It is perfect for a couple. The apartment has 1 double bedroom ensuite and a pull-out double bed in the living room kitchen. This could be a problem for more than one couple renting, especially at night. Using the facilities you have to walk upstairs through the bedroom. It is also all open plan with no doors for privacy. (except the bathroom) We were a couple + single friend so it was not wholly ideal for our needs. Bearing this in mind it is otherwise a perfect place to stay for a couple, and we loved the flat.
