Elena gave us a warm welcome to Venice. She walked us to the flat from the bus station. She showed us shops and places to get a snack or gelato along the way. The flat was spotless and spacious. We loved cooking dinner in the cute kitchen and enjoying the breeze and view from the windows. The neighborhood is perfect - away from tourists you can enjoy the real Venice but still reach the main sights in 15 - 20 minutes. Perfect! Highly recommend.
