Recommended! We had a fantastic experience at Andrea's apartment. It's in a special place with an amazing view of the canal and gondolas. There's the odd boat passing through during the night but it didn't bother us. It's hard to find a place like this so if it's available for your dates, I would go for it.

The apartment was immaculate, cosy and warm. Great wifi and nice touches such as water in the fridge, umbrellas (which were a god send), a comfy bed and just about everything you need.

Google maps had some issues with Venice, so once I found the apartment I saved its location on my app, and sent it to Andrea to pass on to future guests. I would recommend you ask for this.

We got the Alilaguna blue line boat taxi from the airport which took 1hr15m to get to San Marco ($15 pp) and a private water taxi on the way back (from Rialto bridge) which took 25m and cost $110.
