Andrea kindly welcomed us at the Rialto waterbus stop and brought us to his place (a 5-minute walk that can easily be done even with a suitcase).
The 2-bedroom apartment had been recently renovated and felt new and clean. It is equipped with a modern silent AC and a nice bathroom with shower.
The apartment is amazingly well located, one minute away from one of my favourite restaurants, Chat qui rit. More importantly it is also a couple of minutes away from San Marco's square. Coming from Venice train station (Venezia Santa Lucia), it's a 20-minute waterbus ride (line 1) to Rialto and 5-minute walk).
I would definitely go back to Andrea's place if I have the opportunity to go back to Venice soon.
