We had a really perfect five days in a lovely apartment which had absolutely everything we needed. It was very clean, comfortable, and unusual to have olive oil, tea and coffee in the cupboard and a very welcoming host who was so helpful. The apartment is in a central but very quiet location. Elena sent us good recommendations (e.g. Oniga for a meal which we loved in nearby Santa Barbara). The Carmini and the Frari are so near, a boat selling vegetables 2 minutes away, also 2 minutes away a bar on the canal for an early evening drink and nibbles. The vaparetto stop is really near which is great for the airport and for getting around. We will stay nowhere else in future!
