If you are going to Venice you could not do any better than stay at Andrea's apartment for so many reasons. Firstly Andrea is the perfect host ...he always responded quickly and gave us detailed instructions for how to get to the Vaporetto stop (San Samuele) from Maria S. Angelo station. It can sometimes be confusing but we did not put a foot wrong and then Andrea was there to meet us at the vaporetto stop and walk us to the apartment (kindly taking my luggage).
The apartment is newly renovated with quality furnishings and fittings and is just stunning ...so tastefully done ...beautiful floors, tiles, light fittings etc. Andrea even left us a lovely bottle of wine as well as water, soft drink etc in the fridge..a variety of tea and coffee also and some snacks. The apartment is on 3 floors ..the first is the entrance and holds the washing machine and dryer (nicely concealed). We decided to leave the bulk of our luggage down there as didn't use that space for anything else ..this was fine as we only stayed 3 nights. On the 2nd floor is the main bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge all in one. On the third floor was a spacious main bedroom with an ensuite and the 2nd bedroom which had a single bed.
Andrea's place is just a 8 - 10 minute walk from San Marco , Accademia Bridge etc. Highly recommend ...I do not think you will find a better place than this and cheaper than a nice hotel and so much more spacious. Andrea again met us at the vaporetto stop to say goodbye as we were leaving. This place made our visit to Venice just so special.
