Mario was very welcoming. He greeted us at the Ospedele station and was there when we arrived. He walked us to his apartment, gave us the lay of the land and added a few tips. He was very accessible if we had any questions or concerns throughout our stay. He provided fresh milk and a bottle of water upon our arrival as well as a few pastries for breakfast. The accommodation itself was as advertised in the pictures and descriptions on his profile. The bed was quite comfortable. The canal is literally just outside of the living space and kitchen windows which added a lot of character to the apartment. It is on the perimeter of the island which was helpful for easy access to the airport and train station via Ospedele station. Overall great experience.
