We loved staying at Elena’s place! The home is warm, welcoming, and very clean (cleanliness is VERY important to me)! We felt like locals, shopping at the local market just around the corner, having coffee in the kitchen while looking out over the river from the windows. There are restaurants, cafes, a market, and all the tourist destinations within walkable distance. In fact, one restaurant just around the corner provided us with the BEST pasta of our 2 week visit to Italy (which included Venice, Milan, Rome, and Florence). We were 2 families, 4 adults and 2 children and it accommodated us perfectly. Unfortunately the weather was too cold the evening we were to have a boat ride with David, but that is the only regret that I have! Book this place, you will LOVE it!
