We met with martino right off the water taxi. He was very nice and had lots of good advice, very easy to talk to. The apartment was located perfectly, we walked everywhere. The market was 5 minutes away, San Marco square was 5 minutes away. We even walked all the way across the island to the train station in only 20 minutes one night. The apartment was nice and clean, very cozy. Would recommend this place to anyone! It is perfect size for a couple or even a family with small kids (there is a full size futon up stairs). If I ever come back to Venice I will definitely stay here again!
