Andrea was a good host and attentive to our needs. He met us at the main train station, for a 50 Euro fee, because of late check in, and took us back to the apartment. The apartment was clean and spacious, definitely enough for 2 and even for 4. It is centrally located, near many nice cafes and restaurants. Some of the primary pros and cons are listed below:

Pros:
- Location is excellent - away from tourist areas but close to the city center
- In unit washer for laundry
- Large kitchen, great for cooking, if you want to save some money
- View of the canal from the bedroom
- Lots of guide books and maps are available to plan your stay
- Andrea is helpful in providing recommendations on where to go and what to see
- Grocery store is 5 mins walking distance from the apartment

Cons:
- No Wifi in the apartment
- Oven works sporadically
- The windows don't really open and close properly
- There is construction going on around the building. Unfortunately, Andrea didn't know about it and we would have been better prepared for it, had we known in advance, especially in the mornings

Overall, we had a great trip in Venice and we appreciated the unique and local atmosphere surrounding the apartment.
