Elisabetta was a very attentive and accommodating host, from the time we booked until AFTER checkout. She met us at the vaparetto stop when we arrived and walked us to the apartment. She had a nice cold bottle of water for us which was nice after the long, hot vaparetto ride from the airport. She responded very quickly to all my messages before, during and after our stay. She had reccomdations and addressed our concern about the weather. Her apartment was about a 5-10 min walk to the Basilica and Doges Palace (St. Mark's Square) but nestled in a quiet area. It's only a 3 min walk to the vaparetto stop. Her place was comfortable and had everything we needed to include a full and operative kitchen, 2 bathrooms, air conditioning, a nice washer, a delightful patio and daily trash pick-up. If you're looking for a true Venetian experience, stay here, in the heart of San Marco.
