WOW! Is what I have to say about Elana and her apartment. My stay was amazing! First, the apartment is exactly as described in Elana’s listing. The bedroom, living space, and kitchen are spacious, lovely, comfortable, clean, and located directly on the canal! You literally watch the boats go by as you cook, eat your breakfast, or relax on the sofa. Second, the location is awesome! It is located within walking distance of so MANY great Venetian sights and also you have access to out of the way markets and local shops you do not have in San Marco square. Finally, this was my first travel since the pandemic began. I am a seasoned traveler, however, during a pandemic (new variant and all…) anxiety was definitely present. Elana helped quash these anxieties by going out of her way to make covid test appointments for my boyfriend and I (required for return flights); NYE dinner reservations at a local (not commercial ❤️) restaurant; and answered every question I had throughout my stay about goings-on about town and where to go for various asks. Elana even left a welcome package ☺️! I really cannot thank this host enough, she went above and beyond and truly made us feel welcome and at ease. Not only should you feel at ease to stay at Elana’s apartment you should be assured that you are in the hands of a kind and dear host.
