Andrea was a great host! He gave us easy instructions on how to get to the apartment from the airport via waterbus and met us at the stop as arranged. He told us some history of Venice on the way to the apartment which was a short walk from the bus stop. He also gave us tips on where to go and eat to make the most of our short stay in Venice. The apartment itself is fantastic. It is literally 50 steps from the main square of Venice but still manages to have its own piece of privacy. And minutes walking distance to the other major sites. I wasn't sure from the picture exactly what view we would have but it was amazing! We were on the second storey and we had about 5 large windows that all open up to a beautiful canal. I just loved waking up in the morning, having a coffee (which is supplied in the apartment) at the window and watching all the gondoliers go past. It was just like the movies. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. Thank-you Andrea for making our stay in Venice one we won't forget. We will be telling all our friends your apartment is a must stay if they book a trip to Venice.
