The apartment is in a fantastic location with a supermarket, shops and restaurants on your doorstep. We took a water taxi back from St. Mark's square right to the front door and that was a lot of fun. The apartment is very big and is super clean with everything you might need for a stay away from home. Elena is a generous and gracious host and will help in any way to make sure you have a great holiday. In fact, when I asked my 8 year old boy what he most enjoyed about our time in Venice, he said "Elena and Lily (her cat)". I think that says it all really! Thank you Elena, we had a wonderful stay and hope to be back one day.
