Elena truly was the perfect host! She waited for us at Piazzale Roma and walked us to the flat whilst giving us helpful tips on the way, such as what the road signs meant and pointed out good places to go if we wanted to eat.
She showed us the nearest supermarket(which is only a couple of minutes walk from the flat) and explained how to get to one that opened later which was very helpful. Elena pointed out a nice bakery which we ended up going to on more than one occasion and weren't disappointed.
The flat itself was in a perfect location for us- probably about a 10 minute walk from Piazzale Roma.
It was also very close to the train station which to us was very helpful as after our stay in Venice we took the train to Florence.
The flat was very clean, equipped with everything we could have needed and probably more; it is nicely decorated and truly made us feel like we were in Venice. It is in a very quiet building and neighbourhood and I felt very safe.
Elena kindly greeted us with biscuits, strawberries and a bottle of bubbly which were all very much appreciated.
She also made sure she left us a map where she pointed out places we might need and recommended a few places to eat.
Elena was a lovey lovely host and made us feel very welcome. I have no hesitations in recommending this and would certainly stay here again on a future visit.
Our only regret was that we didn't have more time in Venice.
Elena, we can't thank you enough for making us feel at home!
Elena really knows what guests need and has her hosting kills down to perfection.
