We arrived at Venice port following a cruise and initially struggled to locate the apartment, however Andrea's sister Lara contacted us and met us off the water bus, she was incredibly helpful, taking us directly to the apartment as well as providing us with great tourist advise and recommendations, complete with a map showing us relevant places. The apartment was beautiful and the Air conditioning was very welcome. The position is ideal for exploring Venice being only 5 minutes from one of the main routes through Venice. We only stayed for one night, but the following morning Lara came to the rescue again, guiding us to a place to store our luggage whilst we spent a day in Venice before a late night flight. If you are laden with luggage it is best to take the water buses rather than dragging cases over the numerous bridges! Please also note that the apartment is up several flights of stairs, if you are slightly unsteady on your feet this may be an issue. Apart from this I would highly recommend Andrea's apartment.
