Ali is a really hospitable host and he attends to all your needs. His apartment is really clean and spacious. The location of his place is only a 5 minutes walk from San Marco's Square and only 3 mins to the nearest water boat station Arsenale. It took around 40 mins walk from the train station because i had to find my way through the narrow alley of venice, however it was a great experience as it got me exploring more places. It was quiet in the night. All basic amenities were provided for. Will be back!
