Ele’s Apartment was fantastic. The apartment was very clean and stylish - exactly as pictured. We loved having the canal right outside of our bedroom window. Hearing the gondoliers singing in the morning was very romantic. We really appreciated the amenities provided, including some quality coffee and a washing machine. The bed was very comfortable, and having a full sized shower with plenty of hot water was a treat!
We were so grateful for Ele - our check in ended up being several hours later than planned due to multiple train delays, but Ele stayed late to check us into the apartment in person. She also gave us some outstanding local restaurant recommendations that transformed our experience in Venice. She also went above and beyond prior to our check in to make sure we had instructions for reaching the apartment from the train station, as well as giving us some tips about what sights to see.
The apartment is in a great location - we were able to walk to St. Mark’s Square in just a few minutes. The Rialto bridge area is also not far away. The neighborhood immediately outside the apartment is very upscale - the Teatro la Fenice is just steps outside of the apartment.
The only negative about our stay was that we were eaten alive by mosquitoes each night (my partner had gotten almost 30 bites by the end of our 3rd night), but that is of course, no fault of Ele or the apartment - probably just a fact of Venice in October.
Overall, we could not have been happier with our stay at this apartment. It was a wonderful experience and we would absolutely consider staying here again in the future!
Grazie, Ele!
