Mario’s apartment was fantastic for our family of 4. It is centrally located - roughly a 10 minute walk to St. Marco Square and roughly the same to the Rialto Bridge. It overlooks a less busy square though, so the immediately surrounding area did not feel as overly touristy as some of the more popular areas just a few streets away. The apartment itself is spacious - plenty of room for our family of 4. The apartment was clean upon arrival and the air conditioning and washer/dryer worked well. Check in with Paolo was a breeze - he met us promptly at the water taxi drop off, which is located directly outside of the apartment. Mario was a gracious host - he provided us with restaurant tips and help with water taxi reservations, which was immensely helpful for our short three day stay. Overall, we loved our stay in Venice and this apartment. I recommend it highly.
