Alessandro was a great host, and (as all of his great reviews state) this was an overall fantastic experience. Definitely one of our favorite places for the following reasons:

(1) Location: His home is near where Bus 5 (which you take from Venice Airport to get to Venice) drops you off. You literally only need to walk 10 minutes. His home is also near the bus station (5 mins)
(2) Responsive, Wonderful Host: Despite us arriving really late (10:30pm), he stayed up for us and made sure we arrived safely. Also, he gaves us great recommendations on where to eat and how to truly experience Venice. Although we checked out, he even let us leave our luggage at the home because our train wasn't until another few hours, and we didn't want to lug around our stuff while we toured the city one last time.
(3) Breakfast: He wakes up early and makes you a wonderful breakfast (I'm not talking cereal and yogurt). This is authentic Italian delicates that were quite delicious. My girlfriend said it was better than restaurant foods. I always left his home with a full stomach and list of things to do.
(4) Private Room: the room we had was perfect (great Wi-Fi, next to the restroom, locked door, bed comfortable enough for 2, and even a fridge).

Overall: Alessandro is a wonderful, charming man and great host. We will him a bunch!
