My friend and I had such a nice stay at Ali's! He helped us finding the right vaporetto from S. Lucia and was very patient and relaxed. He meets his guests on a very kind, personal level; he likes to make a joke, have a nice chat and laugh and is always there for you if you need help!
His apartment is very cute and just as described only a five minute walk from Piazza San Marco, and close to a vaporetto stop. The room was clean and nice; multiple bathrooms are available in which you can even find a hairdryer.
All in all a great room and more importantly a great host! Thank you Ali, we will come back!! :)
