Alessandro's home is the ultimate find for travelers to Venice. It's in the perfect location - just a couple blocks from the Rialto area and plenty of bars, but it's off a quiet street on a super quiet ally so there's no noise at all. It's clean, and as pictured. The highlight is Alessandro, himself. He's the most gracious host, taking personal care of us during breakfast (awesome espresso machine!) and telling us all about this city he grew up in. He even lent some books about the city that are far more personal than any LP or RS guidebook. We will recommend this to our friends and family and hope to come again.
