Alessandra was an incredibly helpful host and even provided some things for breakfast the next day. We felt very welcome, and she gave us easy to follow directions to get there and into Venice. She was also great about answering any extra questions that came up and staying flexible!

The apartment itself was spacious and clean. It was also ideally situated near a pizzeria, a bakery, the bus stop, and the place to buy bus tickets (including the day pass). I would just advise that you bring earplugs as the neighbors were quite loud at night and possibly an allergy pill as the bedding was more old-fashioned. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient place to stay if you want to be near, but not actually in, Venice!
