I’ve been to Venice a few times and this was the best and easiest location for a visitor needing to get to the place quickly and easily. The location of St Elena is ideal, the apartment is on the ground floor so you don’t need to have the Venice stairs experience. Being on the ground floor it naturally has the issue of increased humidity like anywhere in Venice on the ground floor but the heater and the dehumidifier work fine and are sufficient. There is an option of the top bunk bed which is great if you struggle with humidity closer to the ground. The bathroom and kitchen are absolutely sufficient (note for first time visitors: it’s Venice and everything is small but works perfectly). It’s excellent for the Biennale visitor.
Nello is an excellent communicator and quick with responses, well organised, which made everything super easy.
Would absolutely stay here again.
