The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. It is as described in the listing and the photos are accurate.
A highlight of the apartment is definitely its great location. Piazza San Marco is literally at your doorstep allowing easy access to the St Mark's Basilica, Campanile di San Marco, Doges Palace and Bridge of Sighs. Venice is so easy to walk around - the Rialto Bridge and Rialto Markets are only a 10 minutes walk away from the apartment.
The apartment is in a quiet street although being so close to Piazza San Marco, we were still able to hear the crowds and the bells from the Basilica and Clock Tower ring which we found slighty disruptive at night.
Communication with Elena was easy and prompt prior to our stay. She emailed a map of instructions on how to get to the apartment, including public transport details which was very thoughtful. Elena was very accommodating as we were able to check-in as soon as we arrived (about 11am).
We were met by Elena's friend Ceca to check us in. Ceca was very warm and friendly. She provided us with a complimentary city map of Venice and spent time highlighting points of interests and marking out suggested dining options and amenities such as the nearest supermarket and pharmacy.
Overall, we were happy with our stay, thank you very much Elena and Ceca!
