Pros: I felt like Pierre's home was in the perfect location. Before I booked, I thought I wanted to be right next to San Marco, but I'm glad I wasn't. It was very busy and touristy there. Pierre's place was an easy 10-15 minute walk to the main square and was peaceful and quite. He was also near the water bus stop which made it easy for transportation. He met us very late at night when we arrived and had us over for dinner during our stay. Pierre was very friendly and helpful. When the wifi wasn't working, he gave us his personal router to use instead. The home was a good size as well. It was nice to be able to do laundry there. The air conditioning worked well in the living room area and felt especially good on hot days.

Cons: The wifi only worked 1 out of the five days we stayed. He gave us his personal router instead, but it only worked for a day. There was a problem with the gas so we were unable to take a warm shower the entire time we were there. Since there was no gas, we were unable to cook as well. That was a little disappointing. If you are elderly or have a hard time walking up/down stairs it may be a challenging location for you because his apartment was at the top of the building. I would also recommend brining an additional fan for the upstairs room.
