We had a brilliant stay at Eleanora's apartment, it's wonderfully quirky with its new kitchen contrasting with old beams and slightly slopey floors, but it's very homely, clean and comfortable too. The use of the balcony area was great, very private and a sun trap!
The whole place is unbelievably quiet, but you are so close to everything too, so close gondolas glide past the apartment on their circuits. Church bells is the only thing we heard, just so peaceful.
Our flight was unfortunately delayed by three and a half hours, but we kept in touch with Eleanora by text and she was lovely, advising us where to meet her to take us to the apartment to make things easy for us. We had to pay the extra €30 euros to cover her being out late but that's fine, its specified on booking, it's just something to note to make sure you have cash on you. There are supermarkets nearby and the odd pizza place open late so if you arrive late don't worry you won't go hungry!
Eleanora was so helpful showing us the whole apartment and then advising us of her top tips of the city. The information she shared really helped make our experience a great one.
Just go you'll see!
