Firstly, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elena’s apartment! The location was excellent; only a 5-10 min walk St Mark’s square. The local tips Elena gave when we arrived were most helpful, and the tour of the apartment was thorough. The apartment itself was very homely as well as being ornate and traditionally Venetian, which added authenticity to our stay! I would only suggest to future guests to perhaps plan your route ahead of time, as finding the apartment is quite difficult when you don’t know the area. Although Elena was always on the other of the phone to help us find our way and kindly stayed an hour later than our expected time of arrival to meet us! I would also suggest to bring your own towels if you don’t like the idea of the special towels described in the description. We found them ok for a four night stay, however, any longer and we would have bought our own towels. Thanks again Elena for the wonderful stay! Would recommend for location and a the experience of a traditional Venetian home!
