Alessandro is an amazing host. His place is in a fabulous location in easy walking distance from the train station which is critical when hauling luggage in Venice. It's also just off a Main Street so you will be situated well for exploring. He gave my 9 year old son and I a warm welcome with a snack and some drinks a map and recommendations. If you choose he'll make restaurant reservations for you too. You willI never go hungry with Alessandro's hospitality. Beautiful full breakfast every morning! We were always stuffed before heading out dornthenday. The room is spotless and very nicely decorated. There's an air conditioner in the room which was absolutely necessary during our hot stay and appreciated. You'll share the bathroom which is also very clean. Also, Alessandro let us leave our luggage longer after check out to pick up later. He's a kind person and safe for women traveling alone or with children. He has a yappy little dog Gina whom my son and I love.
