Elisabetta was s charming and gracious hostess. She was prompt at meeting us and answered all of our questions The flat was much larger than I thought and very rustic. Bare brick throughout and bare wooden beams on ceilings. Wood plank floor with no rugs or carpets. It was perfect for 2 couples. Each side of the flat had its own kitchen and bath. The neighborhood was right near St. Marcos yet quiet and intimate. The only downside was the extreme heat and humidity. The A/C in the living room was broken but thankfully the bedrooms each had their own units. Charming and unique place. Boats going right past the window really embraced the Venice experience!
