My sons and I had the privilege of staying at Dario's gorgeous apartment this past week and it was fabulous. It is exactly as described and the location cannot be beat. Dario was kind and very helpful from beginning to end including parking, private water taxi info, dinner suggestions etc. In fact, I was having cell service issues when I arrived and he personally found us when we were trying to locate the water taxi. He is a very gracious host. I loved having a glass of wine or my morning espresso while looking out onto the canal. If you have the chance to stay here when in Venice do it... you will not be disappointed.
