We had a very enjoyable stay in Venice. Andrea was a great host; he met us at the vaporetto just a few minutes on foot from the apartment, explained everything in detail and, as he lives next door, was on hand if needed. The apartment was as described - spacious, light and had everything we required. It was located in an area that felt safe, was quiet and non touristy yet only a few minutes walk from the main sights. The square in front of the Ospedale - 2 minutes walk away - was one of the prettiest in Venice and we would highly recommend the spaghetteria/ pizzeria Le Tole there but you do need to book in advance. We would be very happy to stay here again when next in Venice.
