Alessia’s place has a great location, and cute decor. However, there were things we did not enjoy about our stay. My boyfriend and I were touring Italy and Venice was one of our stops. We came from Positano, which is an 8 hour travel day by train. We were told to meet Gioia instead of Aleissia, and we told Gioia that we would arrive in Venice at 7:30. Our train was late by 10-15 minutes which in turn made us late for meeting Gioia. We told her this, and were still charged with a late fee of 30€. This was really disappointing considering we were in contact with her the whole time and it wasn’t even that late. There was also no AC during our stay because it was “too early” to have it running. We stayed in the end of May and it was 70 degrees outside making it terribly hot inside. Opening the window did not solve the problem either as once we did that the place filled with mosquitos and left me and my boyfriend covered in bug bites. It also smelled like cigarette smoke in the apartment, which is odd considering you are not allowed to smoke in the property. The place was nicely decorated and was a great location, however these other negative factors inclined me to leave only 3 stars.
