I stayed in Alex’s house for 2 nights and i can say that i loved it :) the house was well renovated so it’s all clean and even like a hotel. The house can be a little tiny (toilet might be) but my perceptions of it was like I’m truly into local area:) so, it was understandable. Alex was very quick on response to my inquiries and very helpful. The area wasn’t in the central but every distance in Venezia was approachable and waterbus stop was in 5mins. The local restaurants are around with great reviews so i even liked it more. My first experience in Venezia was more than great by staying in Alex’s place! Truly recommended!
