Alessandro was both warm and helpful yet not over-the top either. He was generous with his time and also aware of our time constraints. The room was large and the bed comfortable. Alessandro's breakfasts deserve special mention: an incredible array of freshly prepared bruschettas and fruit, cheeses, salamis and all kinds of Venetian pastries and sweets, as well as fresh juice. Alessandro was also a good guide to the mid-range good restaurants in his district. Lastly, the flat is very nicely placed for vaporetti to the airport as well as around the city but also for walking anywhere. It's a great spot. (And he is clearly into his fancy lighting, which provided several nice touches)
