We had an excellent stay with Alessandro! He was very helpful with providing us recommendations of where to visit away from the tourists, where to eat, and where to experience the true Venetian culture. He greeted us every day with coffee and breakfast and we were able to discuss with him what we plan on doing and what are options are. He let us read books that truly described Venice, and recommended that we not use a map and get lost, as well as find multiple dead ends. The location was perfect, next to the market, close to a water taxi stop, and in the central location. The apartment was also clean and an excellent size for the 2 of us. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend staying there!
