Staying at Elide's place was absolutely fantastic. Elide is a gracious host, very attentive and helpful whenever we needed anything (for example, help us to depart very early in the morning). She keeps the apartment spotless clean, and prepares a delicious breakfast every day! Staying in Lido rather than Venice also worked great for us. The apartment is in a quiet area just a few minutes away (walking) from the vaporetto station, so one can easily go to Venice, Murano, and Burano, while spending the nights away from the crowds. We recommend staying with Elide 100%!
