Overall I am pleased with my stay. Elena is a great host and communicates quickly. The location is a bit further from the principal attractions, but it’s a blessing because you are far away from the crowds and the noise. The studio itself is smaller than what I expected, but I was only there for two nights, and who comes to Venice to stay inside. Brand new AC & water heater was excellent. Elena also provides a stovetop coffee maker. The only issue is there is no wifi and no cell phone coverage. On a side note, if you get into Venice late at night, the water bus from the train station comes every hour to get off at San Basilio.
