Andrea made us feel very welcome. He is propio simpatico! He spent time showing us through the
apartment and how things worked. Notes on local shops and restaurants were great. This location is in a quieter part of Venice close to the station ( about a 20 minute walk). It is away for the main route to St Mark's piazza and the hords of tourists that descend. Very quiet and peaceful. A beautiful apartment with a great kitchen to cook all those lovely ingredients from the Rialto Market! Andrea's friend Filipo saw us off at the end - also very simpatico!
