We had a wonderful stay at Marios place for two nights! The place is exactly as shown in the pictures, and the way the windows open up to the canale is such a fun experience! Mario was unable to meet with us, but left us great directions with a very easy entrance to apartment :)
This apartment is very authentic Venetian which creates the same atmosphere. Amazing location, away from busy tourist spots but still close enough to walk everywhere you want to see! The only complaint I could have is the mosquitos were very bad as there are no nets on the windows, and with lack of air conditioning the windows must remain open to deal with the heat. Just be sure to bring bug spray as we had to make a late night dash to the store to get some! This is not a problem of the host, just comes with being on the amazing water :)
Would recommend this posting to anyone! Thank you so much Mario for helping make our first Venice experience an amazing one!!
