Andrea's place was truly amazing. It is in the perfect location! It was in a quieter part of Venice but only a short walk to the shops, Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. It was only a 45 minute ferry ride from the airport and only a short 5 minute walk from the dock in Venice. Andrea went above and beyond to make our trip an enjoyable one. He sent us explicit details on what ferry to take from the airport and at which dock to get off. He even met us upon our arrival to show us how to get to his apartment which was much appreciated. When we walked into the courtyard of his building we were surprised to see a beautiful garden filled with tropical plants. There is an elevator in the building which is perfect for people who cannot do stairs. The apartment is located on the second floor. Andrea's apartment is also in the building so if you have any questions or concerns, he is easily accessible. He gave us a map to show us how to get around Venice and gave us fabulous restaurant recommendations. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, tea and spices and the bathroom with soaps and shampoo etc. if you forgot anything. The view from the window overlooking the canal was so beautiful and peaceful. We loved everything about this place and Venice. Would do it a thousand times over. Thank you Andrea!
