Alessandro was a great host! His air b n b is only a 15 minute bus ride to Venice ( bus stop right outside his door). He met us outside of the apartment when we arrived and gave of great tips to enjoy Venice! The only thing I recommend when you arrive ( if arriving by train) to get off at the Venezia main station not the Marghera one and then take a bus to his apartment. The host even offered us coffee the day of our departure, would highly recommend this air b n b.
