If you like to see how the local’s live yet still be close to San Marco Piazza, the Academia and Rialto bridge then Elisabetta’s apartment is a good choice. It is clean and quiet with plenty of room and a nice view of the gondoliers making their way down a canal. Elisabetta’s welcoming touches helped us make the most of our visit to Venice. She met us at the Vaporetto stop, which anyone who knows how challenging Venice can be to navigate when you first arrive will appreciate. She also provided some useful tips and helpful directions so we could start exploring Venice as soon as we arrived.
