We so enjoyed our time in Venice and a lot of that was due to choosing Elena’s place. The location is perfect. Very close to the Rialto bridge which saves a lot of money on boat rides to get to sites. Close to the Rialto market as well for fresh fruit and veggies. Close to sites but far enough away from the crowds. Very quiet and yet many good restaurants and shops just steps away. No elevator, but bags only go up one time so the stairs were not a problem.
Elena is a great host who communicates well and met us upon arrival. Great views from multiple rooms and good space. Full kitchen where we cooked a dinner and enjoyed morning pastries.
We will definitely stay here again if we get back to Venice!
