Elisabetta was a wonderful host and gave us some great tips for our stay and even left us some drinks in the fridge and breakfast pastries. The apartment is in a location that cannot be beat when staying in Venice and has everything you need (and more - a kitchen and washing machine) at a fraction of the cost you would pay at a hotel. Easy walk to everything - the vaporetto which will take you anywhere, St. Mark's square, the basilica, the Rialto, cafes, restaurants, shopping, supermarket, and the gorgeous Venetian opera house (La Teatro Fenice) is literally right next door. The apartment is quiet at night and in a safe area. Excellent choice for staying in Venice and we will definitely stay again if (when) we return someday.
