As the previous reviews state, Andrea was the perfect host. He gave us excellent directions, met us at the water bus stop and accompanied us to his apartment. He spent time giving us plenty of local information and was readily available if we needed any assistance. The apartment was very homely, superbly equipped and in an excellent location. It was in a very quiet, private area but also very handy to Venice's attractions. The outdoor patio was perfect for relaxing in after a busy day sightseeing. We would highly recommend this accommodation, thankyou once again Andrea for a wonderful experience.
