Andrea was a great host! He met us at the water bus stop and walked us to the apartment. He gave us a lot of helpful and practical information about the neighbourhood and city (eg. how to get avoid getting lost and what types of restaurants to look for). The apartment is in a perfect, central location - just a 3 minute-walk to St Mark's Square and around the corner from the Venice Opera house. Plenty of great stores around and easy access to the waterbus and boat to the airport.

One thing to be aware of, the bed is two single beds pushed together, the bathroom is tiny and the shower runs out of hot water fairly quickly. Really, these were the only downsides. I highly recommend this spot and Andrea as a host. Enjoy Venice!
