This place was incredible from the moment we pulled up in our water taxi! We were able to take a water taxi from the airport and it dropped us less than 20 steps from the front door! Elena met us as we pulled up and she could not have been more wonderful. The place has a large "mud room" as you walk in with a couch to sit and put shoes on or off before you head up some stairs to an absolutely fabulous place! It is located in a quiet part of Venice right on the canal with gondolas floating by. It is lesd than 100 yards from an amazing restaurant and a brilliant place to get groceries. The house itself was incredibly large and had absolutely everything you would need for a holiday! We had 4 adults and 2 kids (1 and 5) and everyone had more than enough room to lay around after walking around all day. Elena was amazing if fact you may not find a better host anywhere you stay around the world! There were a few questions thank came up during our stay about Venice in genera and she had an answer within moments. Anyone looking for a place in Venice should stop looking now and book this place you will not regret it!
