Alex and his sister were great hosts. We were met as soon as we got off of the vaporetto and walked to the Tower Rialto. They gave us wonderful recommendations for gelato and apertivo. The apartment was tucked in a quiet street but quite near the Rialto bridge and great restaurants. The apartment was perfect for our stay - it was clean, spacious, and charming. We were delivered various breakfast snacks each morning. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Venice!
