Alessandro's place was FANTASTIC! He met our family right at the train station and walked us back while offering to help with our bags several times. It was about a 10 minute walk. The condo itself was in the perfect location for us. There were plenty of shops and restaurants just steps away. When we walked down to San Marco Square we were SO glad not to be in the mess of crowds of people in other areas we noticed. There were plenty of people in the location of Alessandro's place, it was just nice to not be crowded. We aren't much on crowds and the typical tourist sites. The condo itself was absolutely beautiful! I'd love to transport it into my own home. Everything was modern and seemed brand new yet fit right in with the surroundings. Alessandro went out of his way to keep in touch with recommendations we had asked about and even had wonderful extras like bath amenities and little snacks. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Alessandro! Our only regret is not planning to stay in your home longer!
