Elide was helpful before the trip, providing detailed directions to and from her apartment from the airport.

Our flight was delayed and we only arrived late at night, but Elide arranged for one of her friend's to meet us. Her friend was very friendly and helpful, providing us with a map and showing us the way to the local store (just around the corner).

The apartment was clean, tidy and spacious (we are a couple and there's plenty of room for 2 people). Plus it is in a great location - in the centre of Venice, but on a quiet side street, so you don't have too much noise. Everywhere is pretty much walking distance, with Rialto Bridge just under a 5 minute walk away and St Mark's Square walking distance too.

I would definitely recommend staying in the apartment and Elide as a host.
