We loved Elena's place and she is so very nice! She was very invested in making sure all of our questions were answered and we were comfortable, before leaving us. She met us at the San Samuel vaporetto, and once at the apt gave us a map and helped mark up directions for us to places we wanted to see. Other reviews have already covered how great the location is and how lovely the apt is, but the pictures do not do it justice. The use of space is amazing, I would easily hire her to help deign my own home! She provided the washer instructions in English which was a big help (other places we stayed did not). The little washer & dryer worked surprisingly well! The location is great, easy walk to Ponte dell'Accademia, still very private. Highly recommend!
