We had a great stay at Alessia's place. She went above and beyond on check in. I worked with her to have my friend check in first. We had such great correspondence and when I couldn't get ahold of my friend to see if everything went well, Alessia sent me a text to let me know they met up and they got her all "safely to home" so I didn't have to worry.
The house set up was perfect for our group set up, a couple and three singles. The furnishing was newer and more modern than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. We came for Carnival and to dress up. The house was large enough to accommodate four women with multiple costumes and gowns. The location was just five minutes from St. Mark's and an easy route, straight there, not many turns very difficult to get lost (although getting lost in Venice is one of my favorite activities).
The kitchen is small yet well equipped. We just used if for breakfast and snacks and dined out for dinner. The deck was being updated, so we didn't use it, but when it is done, it will be a great place to hang out. It is a walk up apartment four flights. Carrying our bags up was a bit of labor, but only happens once, down is pretty easy.
We really enjoyed the house and would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. THANK YOU ALESSIA!
