Alessandra was a very friendly and kind host. The apt. was clean and well furnished and she provided maps, great directions to good spots in Venice as well as having snacks and breakfast already set up for us. When something came up and our checkout time needed to be extended she very graciously worked with us to make sure that we made the most of our stay. It was easy to catch a bus from her place to the city centre and back. My friends and I would highly recommend her.
