Andrea was a great host. He ensured the whole process went smoothly. He provided detailed instructions several days in advance on how to get from train station to vaporetto station near his place. Since he was not in town during our stay, he arranged a friend to meet us at the vaporetto station and walk us to the apartment.

The positives:
The apartment location is awesome. Second to none.
It was clean and had no bad smell (I bring this up because I read somewhere this is common in Venice)
There were a power adaptors in the house which allowed us to connect our US phone chargers, very helpful.

The negatives:
Apartment is in first floor and don’t get much (if any) sun light.
Bathroom is very small. The shower is between toilet and sink. Shower drain sometimes overflows and water goes through bathroom door to outside the apartment (per host’s friend this is common in Venice).

Overall we loved the place and would have no hesitation in staying there again in the future.
