What a kind gentleman Alessandro is. He patiently waited for us at vaporetto as we struggled with late trains. He then guided us to the nice apartment in a wonderful location where the locals enjoy life and off the path of the the hordes of tourists. The apartment is thoughtfully laid out and comfortable with many of our hosts considerate offerings making it instantly a home base. Love the area near the Biennale, very walkable. A great visit in a great city. You will not be disappointed.
