Andrea's place is wonderful and the communication went very smoothly. The house is in a beautiful location - a bit secluded from the busy streets in Venice, in Sant'Elena where you can breath a bit of air, but across the street from the Biennale and a couple of minutes away from the vaporetto stop. The apartment has one of the nicest osteria at its doorstep, and a couple of neighborhood shops, including a vegetable and fruit shop, around the corner. The place is extremely spacious, with a nice vintage vibe, and a touch of art in it.
