We had a great stay. While we did not meet Alessandro, we did meet his sister, Caterina, who was fabulous. We had trouble booking train tickets due to a bank holiday in Switzerland and ended up arriving in Venice hours after we originally hoped. Caterina was still able to meet us at the Vaporetto stop and guide us to the BnB, for which we were very grateful. The BnB is not hard to find once you know where you’re going, but that first time was a great help. She gave us a ton of helpful tips, our favorite being to head to the Cannaregio area of Venice. We escaped throngs of tourists and had great cicchetti. The room was great, though the pillows were a little flat. The breakfast tray for our room and the coffee was excellent. Thank you!
