Ca Allegra was the first place we stayed during our trip to Italy, and we think was also the best! Very last minute we figured out that we would not have a cell phone, but it was not a problem at all as we emailed Sandra from the airport and she met us right when we arrived in the city. She was very responsive to all communications leading up to and during the trip. The apartment was absolutely lovely, and Sandra left us items for breakfast as well, which we greatly appreciated. She is an absolutely charming person, and gave us great recommendations on restaurants and things to see in Venice that were off the beaten path but ended up being some of best things we did while we were there. The apartment was very quaint and comfortable, on a quiet street just off of the main tourist path. We were within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions, and it was very convenient. However, Sandra herself is what made the stay 5 stars - she was so helpful in every way and really made the extra effort to make sure our stay was wonderful. Highly recommend!
