Andrea is very kind and nice host. He waited for us probably more than an hour at St. Elena station, welcomed us to his apartment and gave us all the needed info for our stay in Venice. And his apartment... oh it was really beautiful, spacious, clean, convenient, decorated with much taste, but not being pretentious. Everything you need is there - good kitchen with cooker, washing machine, microwave, table for six, there is separate dining room, another living room with two sofas, three bedrooms... All rooms are cosy and have charm. Bathroom although only one was pretty enough for two families of three each. Area is calm, near park, typical and you can feel local spirit far from touristic crowds. We enjoyed walking every day to the center instead of using vaporetto and thus saw many interesting places non-seen for other tourists.
With all this Andrea made our stay real enjoyment.
I would definitely choose this comfortable apartment for my next come to Venice.
