Andrea was a great host. He was waiting for us at the specified location and shared interesting tidbits while walking us to the apartment. He also provided us useful information for our stay and answered all our questions. The apartment is very conveniently located (close to St. Marks Square). Furnishings are very dated though and the lights in the bathroom were not working (had to drag a lamp in the bathroom) and the tub enclosure was also broken. We did not spend much time in the apartment so it did not matter much. Oveall, it was functional and Andrea provided snacks and a tour book which was useful. The view was also very nice (overlooking the canal).
