Arrived slightly early but Alessandro was very accommodating and met us at the apartment. His communication prior to and during our stay was exemplary, very detailed and very prompt to reply. Alessandro is extremely passionate about Venice and this was brilliant for us as first timers. He explained everything to us and gave us fantastic tips regarding transport etc. The accommodation was lovely. Very clean, very well equipped and very close to amenities. The tram stop is less than a 5 minute walk away and straight into Venice. Nice neighbourhood. There is 'pay and display' parking outside however, Alessandro let us use his private parking space during our stay and to be fair, given the very good transport links we didn't use our car during our stay. Apartment very comfortable and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alessandro and his apartment :-)
