Andrea's flat was absolutely perfect! Located next to a canal off a main street and it was so peaceful and quiet. It's a 10 / 15 minute walk to Rialto (or you can get the S. Sofia traghetto across to Rialto Mercato for €2) or you can walk the other way into Cannareggio for some of the best food (try Fondamenta de la Misericordia - Paradiso Perduto and Osteria da Rioba). Also very handy for the boat to the airport - a 10 minute walk to Fondamente Nove for the Alilaguna Blu line. Really appreciated Andrea and his sister Lara helping us store our luggage when we were too early for check-in. The flat was nice and clean, the living room was bigger than we expected and so handy with the kitchenette, the table and sofa - it made a big difference for 4 people getting ready to get out. The kitchen had all the equipment you would want to cook. The bathrooms were both an excellent size and we were pleasantly surprised to find two hair dryers! I really can't recommend this apartment enough!!
