Alessandro is a wonderful host. He picked us up at the vaporetto station and walked us to the apartment. He explained all of the features of the apartment, provided us with a local map and gave us helpful tips on restaurants and places to visit. His apartment is beautifully decorated and in a great location. We were able to easily walk to everything. The washing machine was convenient since we packed light for our trip. There is a Coop supermarket between the apartment and the Rialto vaporetto station which has anything you need. There is also a small convenience market around the corner, but the prices are higher. Venice is a beautiful city and we would highly recommend staying with Alessandro for your visit!
