We enjoyed our stay in Alessandro's Venice Apartment. Check in was very smooth and easy. Alessandro met my husband at the vaporetto stop and took him to the apartment (I arrived later with the children). The vaporetto stop is a very easy and close walk to the apartment. Alessandro was very nice and gave my husband great tips and suggestions on what to do and where to eat in Venice. The location is very good and we easily walked to all the main sites of Venice from it. The apartment was very clean and looks exactly like the photos. It is beautifully decorated too. We felt very safe staying in the apartment. Our only complaint was with the main double bed, as the mattress was very hard, my husband and I kept rolling into the middle where it appeared to be sagging due to lack of support. Once in the middle of the bed, we couldn't roll out. We didn't sleep very well at all due to the bed/ mattress. Also, just wanted to mention that there is only a bath with a hand held shower. Despite this, we would still recommend this apartment.
