We absolutely loved staying at Andrea's apartment in Venice. When we arrived, we were met at the vaporetto stop by Andrea's associate, who took us directly to the apartment and showed us around. Venice is known for its ability to get people lost, so the escort was most appreciated! The apartment is fantastic- enough rooms and floors so that no matter how many people you have there, you can still have your own private space. The location is brilliant- close enough to everything you want to see, but also far enough away that your street is quiet and tourists can be avoided. The balconies were our personal favourite- being able to watch the sunset over Venice, listening to the singing of the gondola captains below, was magic. Would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to Venice.
