we have a lovely visit to venice and appreciated the way that Elisa communicated with us and took the time to show us everything in the apartment once we arrived. The apartment is in a great location for accessing all areas of Venice but is also removed enough from the crowds to provide a very quiet and restful home base. we would certainly recommend this apartment to anyone without children. The steps up to the apartment might prove to be difficult with younger children but it is an excellent location for couples and friends.
