This is mainly echoing the other excellent reviews. Andrea's communication is great. The apartment is well appointed and offers amenities and nice touches for those lucky enough to reserve it. It is in the heart of Venice without being on a noisy street...you couldn't ask for a better location unless you really want a place with a view. One pleasant surprise is that the staircase to the apartment had level marble steps, with each riser of matching height. If you have ever negotiated your luggage up old, worn, uneven staircases, you'll appreciate these. Also of note are the terrazzo floors in the apartment...very cool!
