Our host Elena gave us a remarkably warm welcome, walking us home from Piazzala Roma, introducing herself, Venice and the wonderful compact apartment, tastefully designed with all we needed including brand new toalet and shower and a kitchen. This was a great, quiet place at a good location within walking distance to everything - museums, waterbus, SanMarco place and Accademia, Rialto and to some nice nearby restaurants - and a Supermarket.
