Elena is a lovely host and her flat is perfectly located if you ask me - far enough from the main touristic spots in the city so you can avoid the absolute chaos taking place all over Venice, but still just a short stroll away from most of them.
Every time we would go out and spend the day under the hot sun, lost amid the masses walking the streets of the city, and then come back to her flat it felt like coming back to our very own little peaceful corner of the city.
Can't recommend it enough! 🙂
