The best thing about this listing is location!
Andrea's apartment is really just a few steps from San Marco piazza and St. Mark's Basilica. It was perfect for our short stay as it is so close to all the important Venetian sights. The view from the window is truly unforgettable as you can see the gondolas as they make their way into the little canals.
Andrea was a wonderful host! He meets his guests at the water bus stop. We appreciated this a lot since navigating the way to the apartment on your own could be confusing for first timers in Venice. He enthusiastically shared information about Venice and offered suggestions on where to dine and how to avoid tourist traps. It was almost like having your own tour guide! He even left some pastries and drinks for our kids! He really was a thoughtful host.
Andrea also allowed us to use his storage in the building to leave our luggage since we were leaving the city later in the day. Overall a great experience and highly recommended for those visiting Venice!
