Andrea was a decent host, meeting us at the water bus station and giving us a rushed tour on the way to our apartment. The apartment itself is great and the location is exactly as described. Compared to my other airbnb stays, it felt more like a hotel than someone's cozy apartment but it was perfect for our stay. Also, we were taken by surprise when Andrea asked us to pay a city tax to him in cash upon checkout. That had not been listed in the description so I promptly wrote to airbnb about my concerns with that arrangement and they were very good about clearing up the matter. The wifi and other amenities all worked when we stayed there and the gondolas passing underneath really do make for a fun time. I would recommend this apartment to others with the footnote to pay special attention to the listing description and note any extra fees that are listed there. If they aren't listed, you aren't required to pay. All in all a great location in the lovely city of Venice!
