Elena met us at the train station and gave us a great tour through the neighborhood on our walk back to the flat. The fridge was stocked with juices and fruit and a bottle of wine. She also provided fresh bread and preserves as well as chocolate candies which were all appreciated by weary travelers. The flat itself is indeed cozy, very clean and charming with nice bedding, a comfortable bed, and a well- stocked kitchen. There was a bookcase filled with books on Venetian art and history, guidebooks, and local maps as well. She provided a binder filled with information on how things worked in the flat as well as suggestions for sightseeing, getting around Venice and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and we felt safe walking back from restaurants even very late. You are within walking distance to the Vaparetto stops (10-15 leisurely minutes), the bus and train stations as well as local restaurants, shops and major sights. Elena was very easy to contact. We had a great stay and would definitely stay in Elena's cozy flat again. She is a great host!
