Elena’s beautiful, spacious apartment made our trip to Venice a huge success, and we would love to stay there again next time. We traveled with our young children and their grandparents who have mobility issues
— not the easiest group for Venice with all of its bridges and crowded streets! We needed to build in a lot of breaks, and Elena’s apartment was very well located, right across from the Frari church. We also started our days late and were back early for the kids’ bedtimes, and I especially recommend the apartment to anyone who, like us, will spend a fair bit of time there. It was very comfortable, even with 6 of us. Elena was also a fabulous host; very responsive and helpful. Check in was seamless — we arrived by taxi (using the number she gave us), and she was waiting for us at the water front door. She left some groceries for us in the house, which was much appreciated for the first morning. All rooms have air conditioning but rather surprisingly (given how hot it was), we didn’t need it. We were able to use the beautiful communal garden when it wasn’t booked. All in all, an amazing experience.
