Elodie's beautiful flat exceeded my expectations in every way possible. It truly was a dream vacation.

This was our first experience with Airbnb and I was a little hesitant to take a chance but I'm so glad I did. After a lot of research on Venice and the surrounding area, I chose this property based on the pictures and the wonderful reviews Elodie has received. Both were completely accurate.

The apartment was immaculately clean with fresh towels and robes laid out for us. Everything was exactly as pictured. The rooftop terrace was incredible. We sat up there to watch the boats go by in the evenings and I practiced yoga up there every single morning. I don't think I've had a more special practice anywhere, and I've practiced in a lot of really incredible places.

Being on the island of Murano places you outside the heart of Venice and the throngs of tourists packed in like sardines. We had space and quiet - two things we badly needed on this vacation. Yet Venice is just a short vaporetto ride away when you're ready to do the tourist thing.

We arrived a little ahead of schedule but were greeted by the restaurant staff below and immediately given the most delicious lattes to sip and savor. Elodie arrived soon after, greeted us warmly, and told us we could return in a half an hour to get into the room (which was still ahead of the published check in time). She showed us the market around the corner and pointed out some things to see/know regarding the island.

Once the room was ready, Elodie gave us a full tour of the flat and showed us how everything worked. She made herself very available to us should we have any questions whatsoever.

Elodie also encouraged us to join her at her restaurant below for a discount. We took advantage of that offer one afternoon. It was the most delicious meal we had while in Venice. Superb!

I can't recommend Murano Suites or Elodie enough. When my husband and I first left for this trip, we both talked about the fact that this would probably be our last trip to Venice and the area (mainly because there's so much more of the world we want to see). Now we both feel differently. I can't wait to come back and I will NOT stay anywhere else but the Murano Suites. It was a dream stay and I feel so blessed to have been able to experience it for the short time we did.

Thank you, Elodie! For everything...
