Elisabetta has a beautiful apartment in a fabulous location. We arrived by train, and then took the vaporetto as directed by Elisabetta. Overall, very easy for a novice. The apartment is a short water taxi from the train station. Elisabetta met us at the taxi stop-which eliminated a lot of potential stress. She also provided great advice on grocery shopping, transportation etc. She is a very organized host. The apartment was much larger than we expected for a Venice apartment. It is well furnished with modern kitchen/bath. Our family of five (3 teenage boys) had plenty of room. The apartment is very close to the Grand Canal and St. Marks. It has a lovely view of a small canal, and we spent a lot of of our free time drinking wine and watching gondolas pass under our window. It's a terrific apartment.
