I stayed here with my mother in the middle of July 2016. We never met Andrea, but was met by his friend, Shannon, at the nearest waterbusstop when we arrived. She followed us to the apartment, showed us how things worked and gave us a detailed map for getting around Venice (from the free walking tours, recommend getting it!). The apartment was very nice and clean. Perfect location with easy access to all Venice has to offer. Quiet area with a bakery, a fruitshop and several local bars just around the corner filled with Italians. Singing gondoliers floating past just outside the house to get the real feeling of Venice.
The apartment has air condition in both the living room and the bedroom, so in summertime you can take a break from the heat. Would definitely stay here again, and will recommend it to others going to Venice.
