Andrea was an excellent host. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment giving us a mini tour and restaurant recommendations along the way. He also responded immediately when we had a problem with the key. The apartment itself is in the perfect location if you want to stay close to St. Marks square and the view of the canals is right on the gondola path. The furnishings are what you see in the pictures, not the nicest but on par for what you would find elsewhere in Venice.
