Mario's apartment is gorgeous! It was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped. It was a real shame as we hardly spent any time there the weather was so great. Mario's friend Luca met us and showed us to the flat and gave us all the information we needed for a fantastic stay. They bed was large and comfortable - the shower was great, we really couldn't have asked for more. The location is also very good and central. It is easy to walk to many different parts of Venice from here and there are only two bridges to go over with luggage! I would definitely stay here again if I was returning to Venice. Highly recommended.
