Staying at Elena's is better than staying at home. You have everything nearby, grocery, bus, great restaurants, and a wonderful comfortable place to call home while you are away from home. Elena and her husband make you feel comfortable. Her garden is such a treat. We even got to harvest some tomatoes, and basil for our sandwich we made. The kitties kept us company in the garden, as well as an awesome spot to have breakfast and tea. We hope to return again to Venice as it was our favourite part of the trip.
