Alessandro's apartment was fantastic. It is centrally located just a 5 minute walk from the vaporetto stop, St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a very safe neighborhood. We were delayed in Florence and Alessandro was very accommodating. In fact, once we dropped our luggage off Alessandro walked us to a neighborhood restaurant and introduced us to the owner... suggesting a local dish. This became our favorite restaurant. This was our second time visiting Venice and by far our best accommodations. Thank you Alessandro!
