A truly beautiful, comfortable and charming place. Whilst it may not be the closest to the central station, it's definitely within walking distance. Alternatively, you could also hop on the boat which will take you to a stop that is closer to walk. As it was my first time there, I enjoyed walking through the streets of Venice to see what shops were around along the way.
Andrea's place can easily accommodate a family of five comfortable; a double-sized bed + a single bed in the main bedroom, and the very cost sofa bed which I fell asleep on for a couple of naps!
What I liked most about Andrea's place is that it is NOT located right in the main streets of San Marco, where I imagine it could get very busy and noisy at night during peak season. Instead, it's only about a ten-minute walk over to the main shopping area and about 15 minutes to the Duomo San Marco.
Andrea himself was an exceptional host who came to meet us in person. We sat down and had a glass of wine together as he told us which shops are around and what restaurants are good for pizza and which for pasta, and what are some of the main attractions that Venice has to offer.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay. I myself would stay here again in my next trip to Venice... whenever that may be.
Grazie Mille Andrea!
