Alessandro is a very polite host. He gave us all facilities in order to have a comfortable stay since our arrival. Everything was perfect in his flat: clean, nice, modern with all that you need for some days in Venice. AND THE BEST: everything is really really near. You just get out of his apartment and you are some steps to Rialto Brige, some other steps to San Marcos Place, a few steps more and you can find boats to go to Murano and other islands or eat something in a great restaurant on side of the Grand Canal.
It was really amazing, you just have to walk.
