Alex's apartment was super clean and convenient to all the attractions. The check in process was different as you have to create an appointment to get the keys but it was still great nonetheless. I also loved the early check in time so I can leave my luggage to explore. Alex also has a place to store your luggage so even if you check out early, you can still leave your luggage there. I would definitely come back to stay in Alex's apartment if I'm ever back at Venice :)
