The apartment (and it really is a full apartment) that Elena and Juri maintain is a lovely place to stay in Venice. With lots of amenities and abundant space to walk around, it avoids the "closet" impression that some places in Venice can create. It has been decked out with modern kitchen appliances, heat and AC, and wifi, and there is a helpful collection of information and recommendations on hand to make your stay in Venice a success.

Juri personally picked us up from the train station at a fairly late hour of the night and walked us to the apartment while orienting us to Venice, which was very much appreciated. The apartment is a bit separated from the commercial/tourist parts of the city, but since Venice is really pretty small, a 20 minute walk or a 10 minute walk to the water taxi will put you into the action. The welcome bottle of Prosecco, fruit and biscuits was lovely and started out short stay quite nicely.

You may want to note that the apartment is on the third floor of a building with no elevator- it didn't bother us, but those with heavy luggage or mobility issues should be aware.

We highly recommend this place- not only for its quality but for the kindness and flexibility of Elena and Juri, who absolutely go the extra mile in helping to make their guests' stays pleasant.
