Alessandro‘s apartment is located on a quiet street minutes from the Rialto Bridge, great food, coffee, and stunning views of the grand canal. It was very easy to get to the Vaparetto, train station and is near a pier perfect for airport transfers (@ Hotel L’Orologio). The property is a beautiful historic building and the courtyard, uneven floors, big windows and appropriately worn stairs (no elevator) all add to the character and invite guests to a local experience. The apartment has two large bedrooms, enormous closet space in both rooms, a comfortable living room with 2 large sofas, well appointed kitchen, clothes washer, and sufficient bathroom with shower. We were welcomed by a friendly hostess who was eager to introduce us to Venice and ensure we felt welcome. I definitely recommend this location - wonderful hosts and overall great value!
Good to know:
- Although safe, the side streets can be somewhat dark so I recommend carrying a small flashlight. There are lights in the stairwell which can be turned on at the entry of the exterior and apartment doors.
- Check-in was efficient and friendly but be aware of Italy’s requirement to register personally identifiable information (PII) for all guests, including passport number and DOB.
