We had a wonderful six night stay over New Year with our two teenage children in Mario's spacious apartment. Everything we needed plus the location couldn't have been better - 10 mins walk to St Mark's Square and also to the Rialto Bridge . Being right on a working canal was facinating and the photos dont do justice to the views of the church and large square opposite and the little bridges in both directions. The rubbish barges opposite that other guests mentioned in their reviews was audible first thing in the mornings but didn't spoil our enjoyment of this lovely warm apartment that we hope to return to and would recommend wholeheartedly !
