We spent nine days in Mariano’s wonderful apartment in Cannaregio. The apartment is very spacious, clean, well equipped, comfortable and just as described on the site. The area is perfect if you want to stay somewhere that is away from the crowds, but is within walking distance of the Rialto and is near vaporetto stops. In the area there are many excellent restaurants, bars and local shops full of produce from the local region. Although we did not meet Mariano, he was very helpful and prompt in all his communication and his lovely friend Natalia was there to meet us when we arrived in the apartment. The apartment is part of a XV century palazzo and is easily accessible on the Alilaguna from the airport. Thank you Mariano. We were really pleased that we chose your apartment. It was just perfect!
