We loved staying at Elena’s. The flat is just as described, but even more airy and spacious. We are a family of 5 and this just worked so easily. Having three bathrooms, two showers, three bedrooms, a huge living room, another dining / work room, the kitchen and outside all made for a vast amount of space.
The location itself is really ideal. It is a 15 minute walk to the Rialto bridge and from there - a quick walk to spots like St Marks square. But there is so much around the apartment - many great restaurants and shops. You could easily stay in that part of Venice and be completely satisfied.
And Elena provided an excellent curated list of things to do in Venice. We look great advantage of that list! She has chosen well and carefully. So helpful! And it really provided a boost to our trip to have all that distilled advice.
