My wife, our 1 year old son, my sister, and I stayed 3 nights at Alessandro's apartment in beautiful Giudecca. The apartment is in a quiet part of Venice that is very easy to find. We loved the little courtyard out the back of the flat where our son could run around and play in. There are a couple of nice cafes just a short walk away for cappuccinos and brioches before starting the day sightseeing around the beautiful city of Venice. Alessandro is easy to communicate with and left us with easy to follow directions to get to the flat. He is a great host and I'd highly recommend staying at his apartment that is just off the beaten path.
