Elettra was such an amazing host and her apartment in Murano was just as wonderful for my partner and I during our 3 night stay. She is very nice and communicative.
The apartment, while not located on the main island of Venice, was definitely a welcomed getaway from the crowded scenes on Venice. It sits on a canal that is lined with various Murano Glass shops. From the train station it’s about a 20-30 minute boat ride on the vaporetto to Murano, and less than a 10 minute boat ride to back to Venice (the Fondamente Nove stop).
There are two grocery stores not too far from the apartment, with one of those being less than a 5 minute walk. Because of this, we decided to cook for a few of the meals. All of the appliances worked perfectly.
There are also great eateries nearby if you don’t feel like going back and forth between Venice and Murano. But, just be aware that while restaurants on Murano are open for lunch, some are not open for dinner too (unless it’s closer to the weekend).
Overall, this is place is a real gem if you want to be away from crowds and if you are fine with traveling back and forth on the vaporetto. Personally, we can’t wait to stay here again once we are able to come back to Venice.
