I can't quite express how amazing our stay at Alessandro's house was. I couldn't have imagined a better way to end our trip in Italy, in large part thanks to Alessandro. Walking out of the train station, seeing the Grand Canal for the first time, and spotting Alessandro waving to us from his red boat is something I'll remember forever. He was one of the most gracious hosts we've ever met - he took us out to one of his favorite pubs, and gave us a list of restaurant recommendations (that were all 10 out of 10!). And his house is nothing short of perfect - Alessandro has decorated it with his amazing and unique personal style, and the place is filled with so many thoughtful touches for guests. I especially appreciate his love of lighting. By far the best value of any Airbnb we've ever stayed in, and thank you to Alessandro for helping to make our trip to Venice the trip of a lifetime! We truly hope to return one day.
