We had the most magical time in Venice. Alessandro's place was everything promised and more. We were met at the water taxi and escorted to an obscure alleyway very close by (not sure we could have found it on our own the first time but that's all part of the fun!) Everything inside is perfectly clean and newly renovated with very high quality appliances and fixtures. The bed was very comfortable and, while conveniently located, it was also very quiet so we were able to get some much needed sleep. We can't say enough good things about our experience at Alessandro's except that we wish we could have stayed longer!!
