Elena's apartment was just as advertised. Clean and well-maintained and a decent kitchen with which to cook.
Especially nice was how Brigitte, who passed along the keys and introduced the apartment to us, was flexible with our arrival. We'd asked for an early check-in but wound up arriving about 40 minutes earlier than expected. Brigitte came immediately to receive us rather than wait at the vaporetto dock. That flexibility and accommodation was very much appreciated by two weary travelers.
