We arrived in Venice on a very busy weekend for tourism. There were so many tourists at the train station that we had to wait in line for a Vaporetto for about 45 minutes because the boats were so crowded. As a result, we were half an hour late to meet Eleonora. Nonetheless, she kindly waited for us at the Vaporetto stop near the apartment and then guided us to the rental. Eleonora's apartment is beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped. We cooked there 3 nights and it was really convenient and easy to make dinner at the apartment. There is also a nice dining table that could easily seat four or five people. The combination washer and dryer worked well. The shower was fantastic and never ran out of hot water. The apartment was very quiet and looked out onto a peaceful courtyard. It was also fun to have a little private dock in the building that looks out onto the Grand Canal. The immediate neighborhood is quiet and residential. The apartment is located down a long alleyway off of one of the prettiest piazzas that we saw in Venice. But it's only a relatively short 10 or 15 minute walk to the tourist attractions at Rialto Bridge or St Mark's Square. Overall, we thought this was a great value and we really lucked out in choosing Eleonora's apartment for our Venice vacation.
