Alessandra is a wonder host! She communicated with us before our stay and was always quick to respond to our needs, give travel and restaurant recommendations, and made us feel welcome during our stay in Venice. The apartment is well decorated and clean, and is located within a 10 minute walk of many restaurants, although it is definitely in a more quiet quaint neighborhood of Venice- which worked well for us and our baby daughter. If you are looking to stay closer to the liveliness of the city this may not be the place for you as it is a ~30 minute walk to the square.
