Our 1 night stay in Venice at Alessandro’s place was wonderful. Alessandro had excellent communication with check in and gave us a great recommendation for a gondola ride. It was supposed to be the hottest day of the summer so he left us some bottled water by the door in the evening which was much appreciated. The apartment is tucked in a quiet street with a bakery, grocery store and fruit stand just a few steps away. It was about a 15-20 min walk to Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square but wasn’t far at all. We highly recommend this place if you are going to Venice!
