We were at Alessandra's place for 10 days during the Venice Film Festival. While the city was very busy Alessandra's place was a quiet, tranquil haven in wonderful part of Venice near the Biennale Gardens. The apartment is close to everything and has everything one needs for a short or long visit. Alessandra and Marco are wonderful hosts. I arrived late in the evening and they were very accommodating. I would certainly hope to stay here again on future visits to Venice.
