Elda's place was nice, clean and fairly easy to find. Once found it is in a nice location. Not as touristy but easy to get to all the sights. We did notice street noise (or really canal noise) early in the morning ( like 5 am) when the local merchants seem to get their deliveries but when windows closed it wasn't that noticeable. Also we live in suburban USA so "hanging" garbage out was a bit confusing and we weren't sure about recycling. Would have liked screens on windows if possible because we did have some issues with mosquitos. Overall we liked our small space around Elda's place in Venice.
