We loved everything about staying at Alessandro's place! It felt like an awesome little hideaway to return to after exploring all day. It's right next to a charming little square that has a few restaurants and a little grocery, and during the day there are always people hanging out and children playing. Alessandro was an excellent host- he took us around the canals, we went out for cicchetti, swapped stories, all the good stuff. He was flexible with our checkout and let us store our bags for a bit, which was super helpful at the end. The apartment had a lot of character to it (so many different lamps!), which I really liked. The hot water was good and the bed was comfortable. We didn't cook at all while we were there but did use the fridge. Zero complaints, would go back tomorrow if we could! Thank you again Alessandro!!
