The location was good - very close to St. Mark's Square and the Rialto bridge. Andrea was a good host - he responded quickly to messages and recommended a great dessert place for my son's birthday. The problem is with the apartment itself. The floor and wall tiles needed a through scrubbing, and the walls could use a new coat of paint. My biggest complaint though was with the bathroom, which is a wet bath. The only place to put dry clothes is in the sink, and there is no dry part of the floor to stand on in order to get dressed. Also the sink is wedged into a narrow corner with shelves over it, so you cannot lean over the sink to brush your teeth or wash your face without hitting your head on the shelves. Although the location is convenient and Andrea is a good host, I would not recommend this particular place.
