Wonderful place to stay. We did not see a lot of tourists near the loft, so very quiet at night. You could sleep with the windows open and hear the water. The loft is huge bey European standards. At least 1,000 sq ft. It literally had everything you needed. Very, very clean. Gorgeous decorating. Elevator, that after climbing all the stairs in Venice, you can appreciate the elevator. The public boat dock is right nearby. Maybe 3 minute walk. I would buy a boat pass as soon as you get there. There is a taxi dock right in front of the loft if you prefer private transportation. I would refer anyone going to Venice to stay at Allesia loft. It was wonderful.
