This place was perfect for my wife and I to explore Venice together for the first time. In the penthouse just outside of St Mark's Square, the location couldn't be any more central to the action during the Carnivale while we were there. Though Venice is the place you go to get lost, you could easily find your way back to Patrick's home as all paths lead back to Piazza San Marco.
The hosts Patrick and his wife, couldn't be any more hospitable. We had issues with the timing of our arrival by Venice airport, and the hosts were very accommodating and understanding during our check in. When we had questions about appliances in the house, they were always available by a text message away.
Next time we come, it won't be in the winter so we can actually enjoy their awesome patio and rooftop. We would definitely consider staying here again given how easy and convenient this home is.
