WOW. We stayed at Mario’s place for 9 nights and loved it! it was our first time in Venice and didn’t know what to expect.. the place is RIGHT on the boardwalk but is fully secure with multiple locks and gated windows which made us feel very safe considering the location at night may get a little crazy.. The photos do not do this place justice it is super cute and decorated in the boho sort of style we love! Mario was awesome with responding to us, and we even had to pleasure of meeting him when he let us leave our bags at his shop down the street as our plane had arrived before our check in.. which was appreciated above and beyond from us! Totally recommend this place if you are wanting the full venice experience of the boardwalk and convenience of being jut steps from the beach and other activities. Thank you so much again Mario !
