Elena met us at the house and gave us great recommendations on where to eat, how to get a great free view of the city, places to go, etc. She provided a map and guidebook to us during our stay, The place is lovely but if you plan to use the washing machine, ask for instructions.
It's very close to everything (but Venice is very small so I think everyplace is very close). She has thought of everything to make your stay a good one.
