Andrea was absolutely wonderful! He not only met us at the nearest boat stop, but he also told us the easiest way to get there from the airport! He even contacted us the week before arrival in order to make sure everything was set for our trip! His apartment was very clean and well kept and his information on Venice was extremely useful! (We ate at 2 of the restaurants he suggested and both were great!) He even told us where the nearest grocery store was so we could make some of our own food! The neighbourhood was quiet and very central with quiet places to sit, a central shopping area, and Rialto Bridge a short walk away! The apartment itself was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed from a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom to electric fans to keep my Canadian family cool! I felt very much at home there and would recommend going to anyone who is interested! Thank you Andrea!
