Elena could not meet us so she had her friend meet us as San Basilio water bus stop. He was very welcoming and helpful, telling us about the supermarkets and a good area to eat and drink nearby (Campo Santa Margherita). The apartment was clean and had good amenities - Elena had left a few things for breakfast and to make coffee. The apartment was small - as to be expected in Venice - and the ceiling is low, but only a problem if you are more than 188cm (6'2")
