If I could have given more than 5 stars I would have. Andrew met us at the vaporetto stop and helped us with our bags after a very long journey from Australia. We felt immediately at home in Andrea’s spacious apartment. A wonderful selection of books and artworks told us that Andrea has good taste and puts a lot of thought into his guests’ experience. The apartment is close to a vaporetto hub on the lagoon that takes you everywhere. A great selection of bars and restaurants are almost at your door but far away enough to guarantee a good night sleep. Waking to the sound of water lapping at your window is a wonderful alarm clock. We will definitely stay there again. Additionally, we left our medications in Andrea’s fridge and he very kindly helped with the logistics of getting them to Milano in a hurry. What a gem!
