We spent 5 nights here and enjoyed it very much. Alessandra is very friendly and gave us many helpful suggestions to make our visit to Venice the best it could be. Her apartment is right near the bus stop which is a 10 minute ride to the island. It was nice to come "home" each night to a quiet neighborhood. We found a great restaurant just down the street called "alla Laguna" that we ate at several times. Overall, we would highly recommend Alessandra and her home. We would definitely go back there!
