We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Venice! Elena's house is perfectly situated close to the historical centre of Venice, however also far enough away that there are local restaurants and bars to visit, and it is still peaceful and quiet. The house itself is an excellent size, and actually much larger than it appeared in the photos! The rooms are beautifully decorated, very spacious and were very clean. Elena was in touch regularly during the run up to our stay, and offered very helpful advice on parking, and getting to the house. Elena greeted us at the port, showed us around the surrounding area, pointing out local restaurants and bars, before giving us a tour of the house. She was exceptionally warm and welcoming! I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to explore Venice. If I return to Venice in the future, I would certainly stay here again!
