Alex's apartment is excellent!It has all the necessary amenities such as AC, WI-Fi and TV. Beyond that, dish-washer is an extra bonus. This is great after a long day spent sightseeing Venice and being fed up with having to do the dishes after that. Apartment is impeccably clean and functional!The only minor downside is the insufficient acoustic isolation of the upper floor, which can be annoying if you have rowdy and noisy co-guests above. But earplugs do the job and we had a plenty of rest :) From Alex's apartment to Venice, you need half an hour on foot and by bus, which is reasonable. Finally, Alex is a great host! I cought a flu on a penultimate day in Venice. I had an increased body temperature and was coughing . Alex let me stay additional hour after the check-out time, so I could better recuperate for my departure. Conclusion: very good value for money, thumbs up!!
