Elena was a great host! While we didn’t meet in person, she was very communicative and gave excellent directions for finding the space when we arrived via the water bus. We had no trouble finding it, which was a pleasant surprise! The apartment itself was better than expected. We had a canal view and even spotted a few gondolas floating by when we arrived. The space was very clean and had fresh towels and bedding for us. Even though we didn’t use it, the space also had a great kitchen set up that would have been nice had we needed it. Elena also sent us some suggestions for things that were going on in town and provided suggestions on general locations to eat. The neighborhood was a locals neighborhood. This was perfect for us, as we enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of the main attractions. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would book Elena’s place again!
