Elena and Francesco were in constant communication with us prior to our trip. They sent a porter to help us with our bags at a cost of 5 euros per bag. Upon our arrival our hosts greeted us and showed us the apartment. Elena made a tiramisu for us which the girls devoured.
The apartment was spacious for our group of 7 and had all the amenities we needed. The girls relaxed in the courtyard and enjoyed the cats.
The apartment was a quick 5 minute walk from the train station and vaporetto stop.
Elena suggested Ristorante da Fiore for dinner. We were treated exceptionally well by the staff, particularly our waiter Tobia.
I highly recommend staying in Elena’s apartment to all travelers to Venice.
