Andrea was an awesome host even before we landed in Venice. He took the time to send us detailed information on arrival at the airport, transport from the airport via vaporetto and his intention of meeting us at the stop nearest the apartment. Once we arrived, Andrea escorted us to the apartment, an approximate 10 minute walk from the boat. The apartment was as described on the website and then some. The kitchen was very well supplied as was the bedroom and bath. Andrea gave us advise on markets, drug stores, places to see and dining in the area. The apartment was an easy walk to most of the main attractions. Very comfortable accommodations.
