Alessandro was by far the best host I've ever stayed with. He foremost, accommodated us at an early time (6 am), took the time to set up an extra air conditioning unit, served us coffee and cookies, and also directed us personally to the bus station and on how to get to the center Venice. He was very gracious and we appreciated everything he did for us. He wrote directions for us to get back to the station to go home. We recommend him to anyone wanting to stay in Venice. We miss him so much!
