Elena was far and away the best Air BnB host I have ever had. This started well before our arrival in Venice and continued throughout our stay. The apartment was lovely and the perfect place to stay if you really want to enjoy Venice. The neighborhood is charming with wonderful restaurants that Elena recommended without paying the tourist prices of the St. Marks area. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to go via the water bus which was only a 3 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment is charming and immaculate. I would highly recommend staying here as Elena is a wonderful host, the apartment is beyond charming and the location is perfect.
