Alessandro will definitely be the best host anyone of u have met. He met us in person at the waterbus station, walked us to his apartment, gave us great tips. And most importantly recommendation on nice restaurant for authentic Italian meals. He also helped up to bring the luggage to the room which is on the 2nd floor. Walking up the stairs is a bit tiring with huge luggage but his thoughtfulness and personality made all seems worthwhile. Jacuzzi in the bathroom is fantastic after a long day walk. Free breakfast is even more fabulous. Location wise is great. Just 3-4min walk from the Rialto Mercato waterbus station. Every morning while walking to the waterbus station, we get to enjoy the sight at the morning market. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who intend to visit Venice in the future. U will not regret it. Ciao~
