Staying at Alessandro's place was only one of the many things I enjoyed doing in Venice. He was very helpful in giving us directions from the airport to the front door of his place. He had someone to meet us at our water bus stop to walk to us to the house. Lorena, the woman who showed us the way, gave us a map and fully explained in detail the best things to do and see in Venice. We found this extremely helpful and basically did everything she suggested. The breakfast basket was full of just enough to eat for breakfast and the room was in good condition and clean. We especially enjoyed the jacuzzi in the bathroom. After traveling and walking around all day it was the perfect ending to a nice day in Italy. I would CERTAINLY recommend that others stay here and assure that people would NOT be disappointed.
