Quaint and cosy, Ali’s place was a really nice place to stay at in Venice. It is a more budget option, but the Castello neighbourhood was very pleasant to stay in, quiet but with many amenities nearby!
An additional note about the toilet, when we were staying there, there was no strong unpleasant smell which other reviewers attested to. I suspect that it might be because of the air freshener that Ali left in the toilet! Overall an excellent choice, especially considering the price point!
