Andrea was a great host! He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable and provides everything we needed from local advice to buying us a plug adaptor as we forgot ours! He met us from the water taxi so we wouldn't get lost and even offered to help with our bags- very kind! The apartment was lovely, spacious, clean, comfortable had everything you might need. And it is much better looking in real life as the photos make it look small and a bit dark but the appt. is bright. Great location. Felt very secure, there are two gates but the area is also very safe anyway. 5-10 minutes to Rialto bridge.10-15minute walk to St marks square ( if you don't get lost) but everywhere is walking distance in Venice. Thank you Andrea !
