Nicola was a very responsive host. The house was well located in Venice, however it wasn't as close to St. Mark's square as the title said. The house was very clean and tidy in a calm neighborhood filled with cute restaurants and bars. It was spacious (except for the bathroom) and equipped with AC.
However we experienced some down sides to our Venice stay. He wasn't there for the check-in, instead he left us the keys in a key box and we had to find the apartment by ourselves. When we got to the apartment it was full with papers citing all the penalties we would get if we would break anything in the house. Bathroom is really small and the water pressure is really low so taking a shower was very difficult.
