venice is wonderful, but can be crowded and touristy....eleanora's place is the perfect antidote to that...it's like a magical hideaway, minutes from action, but tucked away in a beautiful and quiet maze of a neighborhood, and up high, overlooking the rooftops.
which reminds me to note that, while i personally didn't mind, anyone who has trouble with stairs should know that there are many many many steps to climb to get to the the apt. (it's worth it, though)
