Elena's apartment is a perfect base for exploring Venice. Most attractions are a 10-15 minute walk but there is easy access to the water buses and train station. The house is right on a canal so you can book private water taxi and gondola rides right from your doors step! There is a grocery store and many local restaurants nearby. Elena and her husband were excellent hosts and responded with recommendations, help with the clothes washer etc. very quickly. She even gave us a small gift on our way out! I highly recommend for groups looking for 3 true bedrooms at a great value.
