Alessandro was a wonderful host and made our stay in Venice a great start to our Italian summer! His accommodation was in a great location that was a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded downtown. A great mix of local delights on the breezy main road made afternoons wonderful and a host of great eats nearby which Alessandro was happy to recommend added to the stay. I am so happy we stayed in this part of Venice, it was great to wake up to canal views but not be too far away from the main sites such that we could walk in and out without much fuss. Overall a wonderful stay, a friendly host who treated us to coffee and conversation on our last morning, and a truly great location and quaint apartment overlooking the canals. If you want to stay somewhere that feels more authentic and local, this is your stay!
