Our host met us at the waterbus stop. He was very friendly.
We loved the windows that opened up to the waterstreet. So charming and truly venetian.
Mario taught us how to make expresso and left us with packaged toast and a few jams.
The home was not what we expected however. It felt kind of like a college kid's home. The bed was very hard with one thin sheet on the bed, no top sheet and an old comforter. We also only had one full bath towel. There were many mosquitoes and the neighborhood was very loud till the early morning hours.
On the bright side, it was in easy walking distance to the waterbus, many wonderful restaurants which Mario recommended and The Piazza San Marco.
