Elena's place was accurately described. She is a wonderful super host who provided a lotto lot of information before the trip. She made us feel at home and showed us everything and had basic groceries and water waiting for us. Her garden is beautiful and my kids loved playing with them in the garden. Everything in then apt. Worked perfectly. We had breakfast in every morning and went to some of the restaurants that Elena suggested for great food. She even called a water taxi for us on our last morning. We really felt like we had a home away from home. The location is perfect for exploring different parts in Venice. Thank you so much for making our stay memorable and for the souvenirs painted by your husband! Best beds ever!!!
