Eleonara's place is perfect for those non tourisy hours when you just want to chill out and sip a glass of wine on the balcony and listen to the church bells.
It is super conveint to San Marcos Square and the water transportation which will become your best friend in Venice. It is very spacious and much roomier than the pictures show. Being an attic space I loved the look of the exposed large timber beams but they could be a head banger for anyone over 5'10. The kitchen is very new and up to date and I had all the gadgets I needed to make a meal. Eleonora has coffee, sugar, and salt on hand so any other ingredients will need to be purchased. I loved the large soaker tub. I also loved that the skylights allowed natural light all day but had shutters to close at night for a very dark sleeping room experience allowing for better sleep. My favorite thing about the apartment was the terrace and I could have set up there all day just pretending to live in Venice.
The apartment has about 3 flights of stairs in order to get to it. They are well lighted and of good size but it is still a lot of climbing if you have any knee or hip issues. Even though we were at the top of the building and vacationed in October mosquitos plagued us the entire trip. They are everywhere in Venice-restaurants, boats, museums. My tip would be to bring a good DEET bug spray when coming to the area.
I highly recommend Eleonora's place and would stay there again.
