Elisabetta's apartment is on a quiet street in Venice, but it is very close to lots of shops and wonderful restaurants and the vaporetto and the Basilica di San Marco...so everything you could want to do in Venice! The apartment itself is incredible. It was so clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The bathroom is hotel-quality, and the kitchen is compact but so well-appointed.
Elisabetta was the best host imaginable. She gave very clear directions on how to find the place in the maze of Venetian streets, and she was so kind and welcoming when we arrived. Very helpful, too--she gave us great advice about restaurants and attractions and was always available for any questions we had. She left bottles of water, coffee, and fresh fruit for us. I could not recommend this apartment more highly, not least because of Elisabetta. I only wish we could have stayed longer!
