Andrea was the perfect host meeting us at the pier and escorting us to his apartment. He wanted to know about our particular interests and made recommendations on the best places to visit. He gave us a city map with the best routes demarcated to our specific points of interest. He was always just a cell phone call away and would be available in person within a few short minutes to help us when needed. The apartment was just like the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet and the apartment was off the main road and in front of a small court yard making it more private. We would certainly use the apartment again on a return trip to Venice!
