Elena was kind enough to meet us at the Vaporetta stop, which was very useful because we would never have found our way to her apartment otherwise. Remember to bring a good map with you - it's easy to get lost in Venice.
The apartment was just as it appeared on the website and was perfect for the two of us - comfortable and very clean. Be aware though that the kitchenette is as small as the photo and only one person can fit into it! We were pleased that Elena had provided a small kettle (which many places don't), but make sure you take a 3 pin adapter for a 2 pin plug.
Both the air-con and the heating worked extremely well - which was useful since one evening was quite cold while subsequent day temperatures were quite high.
Our flight was at 6.00 in the evening and Elena was kind enough to let us stay later than the 12.00 checkout which was really sweet of her.
The location of the apartment was close to the centre and to two vaporetto stops and away from the noisy areas.
We would definitely book Elena's apartment again if we returned to Venice, and recommend it to others.
