Alessandra's place is exactly as advertised with all of the amenities needed to make your stay in Venice a great one. Specifically, we appreciated the kitchen, the private courtyard area, the clothes washer, and the air conditioner, which is essential for summers in Venice. Alessandra herself was very responsive to our needs and an excellent communicator. She also arranged private transit for us between the apartment and the airport during our arrival and departure, which was so much easier and less stressful. (Beware of pickpocketing on public transit please.) Our only regret was the short length of our stay. We highly recommend a stay with Alessandra, and will return the next time we visit Venice.
