We had a lovely stay at Alice's palazzo--it felt like the perfect way to enjoy the local flavor of Venice and we loved the neighborhood of Cannaregio--we found many bars and restaurants in that neighborhood that we enjoyed. Admittedly, we were a bit overwhelmed at first as Venice can be difficult to navigate. Once you get your feet under you, you are able to fully appreciate all that Venice has to offer, getting "lost" and discovering new coffee shops, restaurants, and wine bars. Alice was great at communication and very patient and understanding at answering questions and providing advice on the various items we needed addressed. We loved living like the locals do and being steps away from so many attractions. Grazie, Alice!!!
