This charming elegant and fun place is an absolute gem. If it's available, don't think twice. Our family with three children ranging in age from 15-25 had the space we needed to recharge at the end of a day with so many left and then right and then left turns!! The benefit of the easy 5 minute walk from the train station can't be overstated. The apartment is just as or better than pictures make it seem. The living room with its comfortable couches provided our family a gathering space away from the crowds. The bright color scheme and the many pictures on the wall are so fun to return "home" to. We enjoyed several of Elena's restaurant recommendations, and Elena and her family were so friendly welcoming us. Can't think of a single downside. Book and enjoy Venice!!
