This apartment is great and Andrea is an amazing host. We met him at a cafe next to the apartment as we were scrambling to find cash to pay for our drinks. He was quick to offer us the 2 or 3 euro we didn’t have to pay the rest of our bill (like many places in Venice they are cash only).
The apartment is on the first floor and was about twice the size of all the other Airbnb places we stayed at in Europe. There’s also a washer so we were able to wash our clothes and air dry them on a rack.
The location is great, it’s right next to to Piazza San Marco, lots of food and lots of bars. I don’t think we had to walk more than a half mile in any direction from the apartment to get to everywhere we wanted to go. There’s also a great little canal spot at the end of the alley that’s a great little secluded spot to sit and have a drink while watching the gondolas go by.
The only thing to be aware of which was mentioned in another review is the front door can be very difficult to open. My friend has some shoulder and knee problems so she wasn’t able to open the door herself.
The bedroom was a good size and quiet but the mattress could use some padding. The bathroom, while small, was quite up to date. There’s not a lot of hot water though so you may need to take quick showers if multiple people are going to shower. We had a clogged drain the first morning we were there and Andrea showed up in 2 minutes to fix it.
We had a great stay here and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for somewhere to stay in Venice!
