The apartment is ideally located in the second floor of an old house at the confluence of two canals. You reach Rialto Bridge and San Marco on foot in 5 to 10 minutes, but the neighbourhood is still very quiet. The windows of living room and master bedroom look out onto the canals. The view is fantastic, but be aware that there may be some traffic noise on the canals in the morning. The second (considerably smaller) bedroom with two single beds opens out onto a small courtyard. There are two small balconies facing north onto the canals, one with a little table and two chairs, where we enjoyed the evening sun. The flat is bright and spacious, has two bathrooms and is fully equipped with everything you need.
For check-in we met Alex's sister Tiziana at a pre-determined place. She was very friendly, brought us to the apartment, gave us the keys and some helpful informations about sightseeing and restaurants and collected the tax (4 Euro per person per night). Tiziana was always available via WhatsApp. When we had a problem with the heating, she helped us immediately solving it, even in the late evening. All in all we had a great time at Alex's apartment and would definitely stay there again!
