When we planned a Trip to Venice, trawling through the internet, it was difficult to actually find the "best possible accommodation". Based on reviews we selected Allegra's place. She communicated and guided us before we started, including how best to get to the property and promised to take us personally to the apartment on arrival, which was really nice touch. On arrival we were told Alberto, will be picking us up and Alberto sent us message. He was a lovely bloke, impeccable manners and picked us up from the Rialto Bridge stop of Alilaguna ferry from Airport and took us to the apartment, which is hardly two minutes walk. As we were checking in early, they allowed us to keep the luggage ( as the home keeper was cleaning up the apartment) and took us to a quick trip along the lanes of Venice, giving us information and recommendation on where to buy essentials, where Pharmacy services were and suggestions for places to eat. After our lunch he picked us up and took to the apartment. You frankly can't get a better place than this to stay and travel in Venice. Charming apartment, well maintained, clean. Two good sized bedrooms, one of which has a wardrobe cabinet, nice toilet , with a bidet and wall mounted Jacuzzi shower! Fairly well stocked kitchen ( it was great to have a fresh can of milk and cold water in the ridge with selection of cereals) with all amenities needed including a Delonghi Coffee machine. There is a dish washer and also Washing machine ( no drier, but there is a tall radiator in toilet just in case you want to hang washings). Apartment has AC (life saver) and also table fan. From the bedroom windows you can watch the canal as well as the Gondolas. Good WiFi. They also have stocked Venice guides, which is good to plan activities. The apartment is just under two minutes to Rialto Bridge, Rialto Water Taxi stand, five minutes to St Mark's Square ( St Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace and starting point of most of the conducted tours). There are dime a dozen restaurants, Cicchetti places, Bars within a minute to five minutes walk ( if in doubt Alberto was always available on phone to help!). Tap Water is safe for drinking ( we compared with bottled water, they taste the same. One tip if you do not like the taste, cool it down in fridge, it becomes more palatable. As you are very close to the Rialto ( or St Mark's Square) you can go out early in morning or late evenings, when the crowds are less and you can take lovely photographs or family snaps in peace!! Please note there are two keys one for the apartment ( if you close it it locks by itself, so please make sure you have the key before you close the door) and one for main entrance to the building. That door is the difficult one as lot of times other residents do not lock it!! Plus it is a dual lock, so turn the key twice, but makes the resident secure. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hospitality of Allegra and Alberto. Definitely we will be back in future. Thanks a lot Allegra and Alberto. You guys were amazing. Please keep the standards high as it is!!
