We stayed 4 nights at the end of May 2013. Excellent location, very nice apt. with a lot of character.. Great pastry shop below apt. Alessandro met us near the train station as promised. Gave us Venice info and an introduction into Venetian culture. He recommended 4 restaurants 5 min from Apt. we ate at 3 of them and they were excellent. He lent us a book, Venice is a Fish, which was a perfect introduction to Venice. This was first time we used airbnb and it was excellent experience thanks to Alessandro. We highly recommend this apt.
