This is a real home, filled with colour & character, stained glass windows, books, interesting things to look at, oozing with charm. What you don't realise from the photos is you don't have just one balcony, you have another three windows opening onto Juliet balconies! And the position is perfect. The Rialto markets are almost on your doorstep which makes it easy & fun to shop for fresh seafood, fruit & vegetable and cook them on the 4 burner gas-top. If you don't feel like cooking, you are surrounded by restaurants & cafes. There is a canal directly below the apartment and it meets up with the Grand Canal a short distance from the apartment. You can actually see it from the balcony in the living room. The WIFI is super-fast, one of the quickest we've had in an Airbnb. Alessia is a lovely host & allowed us to check in early and also took us to the best Cicchetti bar we've been to in Venezia. Come to Alessia's for a wonderful Venetian experience.
