This apartment is right in the middle of the action in St. Mark's Square, but inside it's extremely quiet and quaint. The view of the gondoliers and canal out the window is pretty special, and you can easily walk to any part of Venice from here. Andrea was a great host and answered all our questions quickly both before we arrived and while we were there. He really went above and beyond for us, and once we saw all the tourists walking around the maze-like streets trying to find their hotels, we really appreciated that he picked us up at the airport boat and brought us to the apartment. If you have time to go on a walking tour with Andrea or one of his tour guide friends, you should definitely do that the day or day after you get there (book ahead if possible). It's a great way to get to know your way around Venice and we learned a lot about things we wouldn't have even noticed. Thanks Andrea - we had a great time!
