The flat was exactly as Elisabetta described - central, spacious and beautifully appointed. It felt very authentic having gondolas float past whilst we had breakfast in the dining room. St Marks was not more than a two minute walk away, and everything we needed was close by. The apartment was perfect for two children too. Elisabetta was the perfect host - she came to meet us from the vaporetto and talked us through the best places to eat and visit (thanks Elisabetta!) which we'd have struggled with in just 5 days. We'd definitely recommend the apartment (in fact we already have!) and would return there when we go back to Venice.
