Elena’s place was a perfect base for us to explore Venice and the surrounding islands. It was conveniently located 10 mins walk from the main train station and 20 mins to the main tourist area. The neighbour had good amenities and it felt like you were in the ‘real’ Venice. The place itself I was exactly as described. Elena and her assistant Shirley were great with all communication and an added bonus was they allowed us to store our bags for a few hours after checkout.
