Alessandro was a perfect host. He met us at the boat dock which is a very short walk to the B and B. He was thorough in guiding us on where to visit and eat and how to best enjoy our experience in the city. He was even in touch during the day by text to set up dinner reservations. The B and B is in a convenient location to all the sites and close to a vaporertto stop, yet far enough away from the crowds and noise to be peaceful. There are also several good restaurants close by and the area is an interesting one to explore. The room was very clean and well appointed and the breakfast was plentiful. Alessandro even found me gluten free cookies and bread for the morning and made a wonderful cup of cappuccino. I chose to stay here because the reviews of Alessandro indicated that he was a wealth of knowledge and wonderful to talk to, all of which and more are true. He guided us with great insider tips and was the key to enjoying our stay in Venice. I highly recommend his place and hope to be able to come and stay here again! Alessandro, you are fantastic, fantastic! (Once you meet him, you'll understand this!)
