Alessandro's apartment was fantastic. It is situated on a quiet street, but a minute's walk from restaurants along the canal. The space was recently remodeled, and it shows! It is clean, modern, and inviting, but retains a warmth and a homey feel. The view is great. Alessandro was a fantastic host, meeting us to check in and answering any questions we have. There is a lot of information on the city in the apartment, including how to get around. (I recommend a water taxi direct to the airport - quick and easy and with great views). I was very sad to leave such a wonderful space, and will be happy to return!
