Andrea was very nice and helpful. He gave us detailed directions on how to use the water taxis and met us at the apartment. He also kept in touch via text while we navigated the maze of Venice which was very helpful. Andrea was kind enough to show us good places to walk and visit and also told us which touristy places to avoid.
