Every once in a while you find a place on AirBnB that exceeds your expectations, and Alessandro's place was definitely one of those. After meeting our group of five adults in a central location and escorting us to the apartment, Alessandro spent over 30 minutes providing incredible suggestions for places to visit and eat during our stay. He passionately described the 'real Venice' that he hoped we would see. We followed a number of his recommendation, but as he warned we didn't have time to do everything in our 2 day stay. His recommendation to visit the island of Burano was definitely one of the highlights of our stay! We also used his recommendations for places to eat and particularly enjoyed a restaurant called Ostaria Da Rioba that he called one of his favorites. The apartment itself was in a great location, it was very comfortable, and the air conditioning provided a welcome break from some very hot days of sightseeing. If we return to Venice I definitely hope that Allesandro's place is still available, because he is a fantastic host with a beautiful apartment
