We've just returned from a wonderful 3 nights in Venice. Isabella and Andrea were fantastic hosts, Andrea rang us numerous times on our arrival and talked us through exactly how to get to the apartment and Isabella was waiting to meet us and show us around. The apartment was in a perfect location, away from the crowds yet only a 10 minute walk to St Mark's Square. We found a couple of really nice and cheap non-touristy bars very nearby to watch the world go by from (The Corner Bar was one we kept going back to). It really was a home from home, we'd definitely go back and have already recommended it to our friends!
