Amazing apartment and host. This is the epitome of the airbnb experience. The housekeeper, Shirley, was also wonderful.
Incredibly spacious, warm, quiet and beautifully presented apartment. Peaceful neighbourhood. Felt like a home from home. Had all the amenities we needed. Felt covid safe: plenty of hand gel and hand wash.
There is a bakery across the canal and an amazing supermarket a few doors down that is open for very long hours every day of the week.
Very well located. Easy walking distance to the Realto and San Marco districts. Also close to Dorsoduro. Close to a couple of vaporetto stops if you wanted to use that.
Excellent communication. Elena set up a WhatsApp group in advance of the trip, so I could reach out to her whenever I needed: before, or during the trip. She kindly booked restaurants and the return airport water taxi for us. We ate in two of the restaurants she recommended, both were brilliant.
