Alessandro's spot was a fantastic spot to have as a quiet and comfortable base for my time in Venice. It's right at the edge of San Polo and Dorsoduro, making it easy to access both areas which have a more low key and neighborhoodly vibe than San Marco, which is just really touristy. It takes about 20–25 minutes to get to St Mark's Square and the big tourist sites, but you're passing through lots of nice passageways and cool little restaurants.
As for the space, the bed and room was very comfortable, the bathroom clean with a great showerhead, and a cute window that opens up to the little street and canal.
Prior to my arrival, Alessandro was very proactive about sending information about Venice and the place beforehand. Then, very kind and helpful while communicating when I was arriving and staying at the place.
