Elena was very friendly and communication with her was effective. The flat was exactly as pictured. Kitchen was less well stocked than some other places we’ve stayed at but we still managed to cook a nice meal, albeit the process was a bit difficult. The walls were a bit thin and we could definitely hear the neighbors (with loud children) constantly (they usually quieted down at around midnight and early mornings were always peaceful). The flat was conveniently located and the station for tram to Venezia was literally steps away (so we could also always hear the trams come and go but it didn’t really bother us), but the ride takes about 35 min. There were also busses to Venezia that were more direct but it was a 10 min walk to the station. Overall we had a good stay, but if we are ever to visit Venezia again, especially if only for a few days like we did this time, we would try to stay on the island instead. It would certainly be a different experience. If we turn out to not like that, we would definitely consider staying at Elena’s again. It’s a solid choice.
