Alessandra's place in the Cannaregio neighborhood was ideal for our explorations of Venice. We were there during Carnival, and the apartment is close enough that it only took us about 20-25 minutes to walk to all of the activity and excitement in and around St Mark's square, but far enough away that the crowds in the neighborhood were significantly smaller and easier to navigate. There is a supermarket just a few minutes walk away, and many bars, restaurants, and pizza places within a few blocks. The apartment itself was clean ad comfortable and had everything we needed, and Alessandra was great at answering our questions and very accommodating in general. We had a great stay here and highly recommend it!
