Alex’s apartment is very central in Venice. It is about a 5 minute walk to Rialto bridge and about 15 minutes walk to St Marc’s Square. The check in was very simple with their friend Abu meeting us from the waterbus stop and walking us to the apartment. The apartment was very clean with a big comfy bed with comfy pillows, a modern bathroom with fluffy towels and a kitchen that included an espresso machine and all the basics for a short stay in Venice. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes around the apartment too. The apartment is down quite a dark and quiet alley. I stayed with my boyfriend but if I had stayed here with a girlfriend, I may have felt a bit uneasy walking back here late at night.
Alex’s communication was quick and efficient and was on hand the whole time and prior our trip to answer any questions. He was also flexible with us leaving our bags in the apartment during the morning of our check out so we could carry on exploring without the hassle of carrying our bags around.
