We had an excellent stay at Alberto's place. It is a beautiful 2 story apartment located centrally on a busy street in Venice. While it can be a bit noisy at night, we had not trouble once we closed the windows and there were ample fans to stay cool at night. The apartment is clearly lived in (I.e., has lots of the hosts personal items), which adds a nice touch, but may not be ideal for those looking for a more hotel like environment. Extra bonus is a working washer and dryer. Would stay again!
