The flat is in a quiet part of Venice which is a nice break from the main tourist area. It is still an easy walk to everything. It is a very nice apartment. Very clean and it has a modern kitchen. Elda is an excellent host! So nice and welcoming. She even met is at out vaporetto stop so we didn't get lost in the maze of small streets on our first visit. It is very hot and humid in July. The flat stayed very hot at night and there are lots of mosquitos when you open the windows. Elda was so kind to bring us some repellents but the mosquitoes were still bad. The heat and the mosquitos were the only downside but that is probably just the time of year we visited. We definitely recommend the flat!
