I just got back from a week of traveling around Italy with 3 friends. We stayed at Andrea's for two nights while in Venice, and it was so lovely. Andrea was a great host, very communicative and helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable (and the friend who stayed on the sofa pull out bed said it was extremely comfortable too!). It was also very well located. It is near enough to San Marco and other sites to walk (around 10 mins), but far away enough from the bustle and really touristy areas. We enjoyed the opportunity to experience Venice a bit more like locals. There were plenty of nice bars and restaurants near by, and Andrea also made several recommendations to us that we loved. Grazie mille Andrea!
