What a wonderful host Allesandro is! Per his advice after our arrival at the train station we bought a discount ticket for the water taxi. He greeted us at the dock and accompanied us for the short walk to the charming apartment. Because he is from Venice he has great knowledge of the area and gave us great advice on what to see, what to do and where to eat. After days of traveling, the Jacuzzi tub is a welcome treat. After a great nights sleep in a quiet area of Venice, Allesandro serves up a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!
