We had a fantastic long weekend with friends at Elisabetta'a apartment. For two couples the apartment is perfect, with two bedrooms each with their own shower and toilet. The kitchen/living area is a good sized with a remarkable view over the canal, with gondoliers cruising past just outside the window.

The location is as far as we can tell perfect, a short walk from the Rialto vaparetto station, and minutes from San Marco. There is a wide variety of shops nearby including bakery and supermarket, together with some excellent restaurants, bars and cicchetti within metres.

The descriptions are accurate and Elisabetta was incredibly helpful, meeting us at Rialto and helping us learn the route through the narrow calle to the aprtment. Elisabetta was also very flexible on our departure, allowing us to leave our bags at the apartment until it was time to catch the Alilaguna service to the airport. (hint: consider a motoscafi (water taxi) if you wish to save some time getting to and from the airport as the Alilaguna service is pretty slow and can be very crowded. The walk to the jetties at the airport takes the same time whether you use Alilaguna or motoscaffi).

All in all, a really great apartment and a lovely time for us and our friends.
