Mario arrived to collect us from the water taxi stop and gave clear instructions on how to get there. The apartment was small but expected for Venice and the pictures are for real, with boats going up and down day and night. Mario explained everything We requested twin beds and this wasn't done and we explained this to him on arrival. There were 2 pillows and only one duvet so if you are not travelling as a couple beware. We thought he would bring us at least an extra blanket but this never happened, so each of us had at least one cold night. But all and all with Venice ' s high prices this was value for money with a short walk to main attractions and great local restaurants close by.
