Alessia is a wonderful host.... we arrived a little late... no problem. She provided very good directions to get us from the main train station to her place. We needed some help with an email and a scan... no problem. She is a proud native of Venice and was very enthusiastic in providing "other " sites to see. The apartment itself was beautiful and as advertised... right on the canal and a short distance from everything. A short distance and a short walk can be quite different if you get lost at the first turn in a street!! We were easily able to turn a 100 m destination into a 20 minute walk. It really became part of the charm of Venice..... wandering aimlessly every turn an adventure and a certain feeling of accomplishment when you found the place you were looking for. Thanks Alessia
