Alessandro's place is exactly as descried here with the added value of Alessandro's warm welcome and visiting tips and tricks. The place is incredibly easy to reach both from the train station and from the main touristic spots. But as Alessandro himself will tell you, it is also the best center point from which to wonde around "getting lost" in all the quieter, but extrordinarily beautiful, parts of Venice. Very clean accomodation, with all amenities available(even a hairdryer, don't bring one like I did :) ), with the smallest of downsides being that you are not allowed to cook/eat inside besides breakfast.
I warmly reccomend this place to anyone that wants to relax and enjoy the true Venice with a quick stop in all the most touristic areas.
