How refreshing it was to meet Andrea at the train station and have him personally take us to his apartment!! Several years ago I stayed in Venice and it took me over 2 hours to navigate all the tiny streets and find my hotel ... Andrea showed us around the apartment and made me and my son feel very much at home. This was the best apartment experience I had during my 18 days in Europe. The location of the apartment was wonderful. On check-out, Andrea and his uncle stored our luggage in a locked room while we went about our business in Venice. It was a quick meeting to retrieve our luggage and they were at the apartment, on time, waiting for us. We had such a positive experience and I highly recommend you stay with Andrea!!
