I am writing this review on the last morning of our trip to Venice, still sitting in Alessandro's apartment.

This is easily the best AirBnB apartment we have stayed in and it completely exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean, well organised and spacious. It was my wife who originally found the apartment online and she was thoroughly impressed with her own success in finding such a good location. This will definitely be our "Go-To" apartment for when we visit Venice in the future. The apartment has everything you could reasonable expect and is located in a quiet residential area of Mestre (most of Mestre seems relaxed and peaceful which was a pleasant surprise as well).

Alessandro is an excellent host. He has thought through all of the information a guest could possibly need and when we had an issue with some of our luggage getting delayed by the airline he helped us out and even went out of his way to meet the delivery company and place the missing bag in the apartment (so we didn't have to come back from Venice unnecessarily). With hosts like Alessandro it is no surprise that AirBnB is becoming a huge and successful company - it is people like him who are the backbone of the company's growth.
