My husband and I had a lovely stay at Elena’s place! Check in was a breeze, even though we were arriving a bit late. The location is perfect - walking distance to everything and right in the heart of historic Venice. The only issue we had was with the garbage. There were no trash cans that we could find in the apartment and we were asked to find the garbage boat the morning of our departure to throw all our trash away (Venice has strict laws about garbage). Otherwise, the place was authentic (not modern, but that is not what we wanted or what was accurately advertised in the post). The view was incredible! We would stay at Elena’s again!
