Alessandro’s apartment is spacious and clean, with some interesting original Venetian features (frescoed bedroom ceilings, wooden doors) whereas the bathroom and kitchen are new.
The location is really great (near Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop - perfect if you have luggage and also to just walk to Piazza S. Marco (about 15 mins). The mercato is also good for fruit and veg.
As 2 female travellers, we had some concerns about coming home late (as it is a back street and quite dark), but it seemed ok, although some caution is advised late at night.
Sig.ra Lucia, who welcomed us, was super nice and knowledgeable and took the time to explain the area and suggest local restaurants to us. This was really appreciated! Thank you.
