Andrea's place surpassed our expectations. We arrived late, but Andrea was understanding and even helped us with our luggage as we had kids in tow. Don't let the dark alley worry you, it is right next to San Marco and a lot hotels and high end shops. It is on the 3rd floor, but that would be the only knock (if that is a concern). The place was the cleanest Airbnb I've stayed in. Everything was spotless. Plenty of amenities including a washer/dryer, wifi, etc. The host, locations, amenities, cleanliness, and spaciousness of the apt are why we would definitely book this place again. Thank you for the pleasant stay!
