Elisabetta was a fantastic hostess. She communicated often, always offering to help us. She even helped arrange the water taxi for our departure. We were greeted by her smiling face and a platter of delicious fruit, Italian cookies and water in the refrigerator. Such a nice touch. The apartment is exactly as pictured, very clean and new and comfortable. We had the loft bed and my son slept on one of the bunk beds downstairs. He is 6-4" and said the bed was comfortable. Also, the AC was a huge help! The view is great, right on a small canal. For us, the location was perfect, not a bad walk from the vaporetto stop and a fun walk to the center of Venice. The water taxi stops right at the apartment making it easy for people who cannot move luggage very far. It is a bit expensive but worth it. There is also an elevator to the apartment! I wish we didn't leave in such a hurry so we could have said goodbye to her, or shared a glass of wine. Next time!
