PROS:
Mesmerizing view, especially from the terrace. It's a stupendous view even when compared to our 14 day Venetian Adriatic cruise on the Norwegian Jade, where we stayed in the Owner Suite that boasted two enormous verandahs offering 270 degree wrap around view of the ocean and the ports.
Very convenient location, 1 min stroll from the Museo vaporetto stop. Coop supermarket and Bank with ATM literally downstairs of the apartment.
Delicious food, elegant settings and enchanting view of the canal at Elodie's restaurant; we ate there twice. She also owns a wine bar nearby, but we did not have a chance to patronize during this trip.
Elodie and her staff: courteous, competent, friendly and helpful. Elodie herself is well known and well-liked in Murano. As soon as we found Fondamenta Longa, the very first shop-owner we approached smiled instantly upon our mentioning of Elodie. She graciously told us how to find Elodie's restaurant, which was a mere 20 seconds away by feet.
CONS:
Really not within Elodie's control, but Murano was buzzing with mosquitoes during August, especially during the evening when it's very humid.
AC was a little weak for the entire space, but closing all the blinds during peak sun hours helped. Also, we were there in August, arguably the most sweltering month of the year in Murano.
OVERALL: We will not hesitate to stay at Elodie's wonderful hideaway should we ever return to Murano again.
