Ala's place in Venice was perfect. We enjoyed the location very much, which was very close to the water bus and walkable to all the areas one should see. It also felt like it was in a quieter area than some of the more touristy areas - which we appreciated. The space was a nice blend of modern comforts with authentic Venetian charm and was clean and comfortable. We only wished we had the option of an early check in (as opposed to 3pm). She did however allow us to drop our bags early.
