Alessandra is a gracious hostess and a wealth of local knowledge. My room and bath were spotless. Equally important was the location on bus lines a minute wallk from her apartment that took you in 10 minutes to the Plaza Roma the gateway to Venice. These buses 12 and12/ run every 10 minutes from early morning till late at night. She is a block from # 15 to and from the airport. These all cost 1,30 for a ticket but all included in the Venice Connect passes.
