My sister and I spent four nights in Venice over Easter weekend and it was - as expected - very busy. Elisabetta's apartment was perfect, being located in a pretty, quiet neighbourhood away from the crowds. There are plenty of local amenities, including a small supermarket and other shops, bars and restaurants, even a park. Then, when we were ready to head back into the fray, it was only five minutes' walk from the waterfront.
The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Communication was excellent and Martino very kindly met us off the ferry from the airport with biscuits and juice for breakfast.
I would highly recommend staying here.
