We had a great time in Venice and enjoyed staying with Alessandra. The location of the apartment was very good (literally a few min from the Rialto), it was clean and had plenty of space for my wife and I and our 1 year old. A few nice touches made it even more pleasant: For example, a guidebook and maps for Venice, a cot for our little one and a supply of the basic kitchen things (oil, salt, spices etc). We would come back.
