Alex was a great host, he came and met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us over to the apartment. He gave us a run down of the location and apartment. The apartment was in a great part of Venice, it's in a nice quiet residential section with a few cafes/restaurants/shops in close proximity. Piazza San Marco is only a short walk away which made hitting lots of tourist spots very easy! The apartment is quite intimate and very stylish! Plus it has a little communal garden which was really nice to relax in. The apartment always felt like a great retreat after enjoying the sights under the hot Italian sun. Would stay again.
