Alessandro and his place are gorgeous. The building is over 700 years old but immaculately kept up. Alessandro checked us in and made us espresso and shared recommendations for dinner with us— truly the best thing we could ask for after a long day of air travel. The neighborhood is very central— it feels like a real neighborhood but is also very close to St Mark’s, museums, etc. We loved that it was on a quiet, shady street and close to the water taxi station. The pullout bed was extremely comfortable (surprising for a pullout bed!) as was the queen size bed in the other room. Alessandro even put the couch bed together for us. This place is the best!
