What more could you wish for? I found Alessandro’s place perfect because it’s calm, quiet, almost secluded, yet close to everything you’d want, such as restaurants (I like Hostaria Venexiana on one of the nearby canals), bakeries, train station, and taxi stand. The picturesque window view is through a miniature plant-filled balcony. The building (situated next a low-key luxury hotel) has a beautifully carved antique wooden door. Only one flight of stairs to climb w/ your suitcase. No need to worry about getting coffee in the morning because there’s an espresso machine and coffee already provided. Alesandro is very responsive and easy to deal with. Moreover he’s very knowledgeable about practical & cultural aspects of Venice. He (or his associate Lucia) will happily & generously guide you on making the most of your stay, which is important because there are so many tourist traps to avoid & so many details about Venice to seek out that would be too easily missed. Highly recommended!
