We never met Alessandro but his communication was always quick and polite. Lucia, who showed us the place and met us for the keys and a tour of the place was so sweet and informative. The space itself is incredible. It is so easy to get off the train and get to the Apartment. The space is all velvet pillows, ancient architecture, classic furnishings, charm, and convenience. In short, it was absolutely perfect. We loved the furniture and mirrors. There is also a laundromat a 1 minute walk around the corner if you want to dry your laundry faster (there is a washer but no dryer). There were snacks, drinks, and even a bottle of sparkling wine all ready for us when we arrived. We would stay here again next time we visit Venice. Thank you Alessandro for all the wonderful recommendations. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Also thank you Lucia for your attentiveness and just overall welcoming us to the space.
P.S. A note for travelers, Venice was apparently built on marshland so there are lots and lots of mosquitos, there were several bottles of mosquito repellant for us, but it may be best to keep the windows shut, especially during those hot days, we went in November and the mosquitos were still plentiful, though again Alessandro was kind enough to provide repellant for us.
