We arrived at Alessandro’s place very late (1am) owing to a late flight arrival. Following the GPS led us to the flat where we were greeted by the owner who opened the gates to the private parking and then showed us to the apartment. Exhausted as we were - fresh milk, juice and water awaited us. More importantly, with 2 kids ready for bed - everything was clean and there were pastries with condiments ready for breakfast. Truly a life-saving gesture as we were otherwise unprepared. The flat is fantastic. Spacious, quiet, and the perfect spot to venture into Venice proper. Alessandro had bus tickets waiting for us - meaning all we had to do is sleep, get up, eat and hop on the bus. It’s a 15 min ride to Venice and is too easy. Any other property will pale in comparison to this - mostly because the host goes above and beyond. Towels, shower gels, food, coffee, bus tickets, wifi, Bose sound system... just a few of the amenities we were delighted to enjoy. Stay here for Venice where you can battle the crowds but know you are going home to a peaceful and large apartment where you can unwind.
