Alessandro and Alessandro's place were excellent, and I highly recommend staying there when you travel to Venice. We were in Venice for only 2 nights, but Alessandro gave us some excellent tips on what to see and do. This was the second time my wife and I travelled to Venice, and with Alessandro's tips, we were able to see things that we didn't see before, and wouldn't have seen without his expertise.
Alessandro's place is conveniently located, only a six minute walk from the car garages or bus stops, but close to everything that you will want to see. There is a small grocery store right next door. One of the nights, we bought food from the grocery store and made our own dinner for the 5 of us (and it only cost 10 Euro for all). There is also a pastry show right next door. For dessert, we bought a whole tiramisu (and it only cost 16 Euro).
If you are looking for a great place to stay with a knowledgeable and friendly host, stay at Alessandro's Place.
