Monica and Alessia were perfect hosts! Our boat was late but alessia was waiting right as we exited the boat. A short walk to the apartment, no bridges, up one flight of stairs, we managed with large suitcases. The apartment is exactly as pictured, all of the windows open so you can make it as bright or as dark as you want. 2 ac units, one in living area and another in main bedroom. The 2nd room does not have ac, however our 2 teenagers were comfortable without. It wasn't terribly hot while we were there but I'd imagine if it were, the girls could have left the bedroom door open and it would have been cool enough.
We absolutely loved the neighborhood, close to Rialto bridge but away from the craziness. The piazza had a store where we could buy wine and close in the other direction a very good pasticceria, for coffee and morning pastry.
Alessia also provided excellent restaurant recommendations for the local feel. We had a wonderful experience...grazie mille Alessia and Monica !
