Our adult family of 6 stayed here for 3 nights around New Year's Eve. The place is lovely and in a charming location, overlooking a small, quiet canal and a stone's throw from the famous bookstore Liberia Acqua Alta. Elena is a terrific host, leaving detailed instructions as well as suggestions for places to eat and shop (home runs!). We stayed in to cook for New Year's Eve, and the kitchen is very well stocked for cooking - pots, pans, knives, a good oven, etc. The dining room (the whole apartment) has impressively high ceilings, and it was a great atmosphere for our family party. The rooms were all clean, the beds very comfortable. it was cold when we arrived at the apartment, but the place warmed up quickly. The apartment is minutes from San Marco Square and so many other charming lanes, canals and eating spots. it was very quiet at night and in a very safe place. We also appreciated the washing machine, having arrived after a week of traveling. We would come back here again!
