Alessandro is personable and makes his guests feel very welcome. He is a host with a great passion for his city. His orientation to the apartment and the community was thorough. He encouraged visits to areas of Venice that tourists do not frequent, and we found great local restaurants there. He also gave excellent guidance about the optimal time to visit the various sights.
Prior to our arrival, Alessandro answered all of our questions and provided much needed advice regarding the logistics of rental car drop-off and airport transportation. As others have mentioned, he assisted with transporting our luggage from the meeting place. Great host, great location.
