This was a great experience! Prior to our stay the communication from Alessia was outstanding. She sent us very useful information on how to find the apartment well in advance of our stay and sent reminder messages closer to the time. We spent three nights in Alessia's loft and loved every minute of our stay. Alessia met us at the Vaporetto stop and took us to her apartment, even helping us with our luggage! She was friendly and gave us very useful local information and tips. She showed us around the apartment and took the time to explain things clearly. The apartment itself was modern,clean and had everything you could want and need plus more! The extra special touches were really welcome. We felt very comfortable during our stay. The neighbourhood was safe, quiet and had a supermarket close by (5 minute walk) and was an easy 10 minutes walk away from restaurants and the waterbus stop. Stunning views across Giudecca canal from the restaurants and only 15 minutes on the waterbus to St Mark's Square. Whilst this place is away from the main centre of Venice, that turned out to be a good thing for us because Venice was extremely busy!! It was nice to have a quiet place to return to after a busy day of sightseeing and jostling with other tourists all day. We had a wonderful time in beautiful Venice and were so glad we chose Alessia's place!
