We truly enjoyed our Christmas holiday in Venice! All of our communication with Elena before and during our stay was timely and very helpful.
The apartment is located in the Santa Croce neighborhood - very easy access from the bus / train station, near the Grand Canal and within steps of a grocery store and many restaurants, etc. That said, it is pleasantly away from the more touristic / heavily trafficked parts of Venice. The apartment itself is clean, spacious and colorfully decorated, especially Francesco's wonderful art. We enjoyed the view of the canal to observe "daily life" and there was plenty of relaxation room for our family of 5. As we were there over Christmas, we cooked several meals during our stay and found the the kitchen to be well-appointed.
All-in-all, the apartment is a true gem and we would highly recommend it! Thank you, Elena!
