Alessandro is the best airbnb host we have met in two months of travel in Europe. He is a true gentleman and met us at the vaporetto stop and carried one of our heavy bags to the apartment. He prepared our breakfast every morning - the cappuccinos are better than any we have had. He recommended restaurants and sightseeing and he loves his home city of Venice. the apartment is steps away from the market and vaporetto and is ultra clean and modern in a 500 year old building. If you are vacationing in Venice, stay at Alessandro's.
