Elena’s place overlooking the Rio Marin canal is ideal. It is the perfect place to stay in Venice. It’s close enough to everything but sits in a neighborhood that really feels very authentic. You won’t just be another tourist! The apartment itself is really lovely and has every amenity, from three well appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms to a well stocked kitchen and a peaceful garden. The library is a very nice touch. Elena is super communicative and helpful. We couldn’t recommend her place more.
