Elena was a pleasant and responsive host from the minute we booked the apartment with her. She took great care of us from the moment she pick us up at our boat stop and gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner (it was the best pizza that we have ever eaten)! The location of the apartment was everything we had been looking for- in a residential area away from tourists. We enjoyed exploring San Marco Piazza in the morning when only a handful of people were walking about; we also met a local resident walking his dog and after chatting so long we ended up going for coffee together. This was an unexpected and delightful experience. Thank you Elena for taking such good care of us and we would definitely look to book another apartment with you again if we have the pleasure to return to Venice. Sincerely, the Keenan Family.
