We loved our stay with Ivonne/Elena! Our written communication was with Elena, who was very prompt and accurate. Ivonne was on the property at all times and was so warm and attentive. Although we don't speak much Italian, we understood eachother quite well =). Their gorgeous home is in a wonderful location- it's close to the vaporetto stops. In particular, they are on the side of Venice that is closest to the ferries that go directly to Murano and the airport, which is very convenient. Also, it's only a 15 minute walk to St. Mark's Square and yet is so much quieter than most of Venice and feels more like a real neighborhood with locals. They also provided recommendations for nearby restaurants. (One of them was Alvise and we liked it so much we went 3 times!). They were also kind enough to let us store our luggage past checkout time since we had a late flight. Grazie mille Ivonne and Elena for a wonderful stay!
