Our stay in Elena's place was a pleasant one. The location is great, walkable to all main attractions in Venice. We haven't used any transport in our 4 days in Venice. Waking up to the view from the apartment it's also a plus. Quiet area as well. There's a great pizzeria downstairs, best pizza we had lately. Elena was really nice and acommodated us with a late check out, as our flight back was in the evening. Besides of the apartment being a bit cold at times, I can't fault our stay with Elena.
