You always here mixed feedback on Venice. So we didn’t know what to expect.. I say this to say WE LOVE VENICE! This was our 1st trip to Venice and I believe Elena’s place was the most perfect place to balance the tourist crowds and truly get a local feel.
I spent hours just gazing out the window at the beautiful city coming to life in the morn. It’s an easy walk to all the popular sights and having a taxi pick up right outside the door was clutch for an early flight!
Just a couple of FYI: not issued just be aware— the shower is crazy small. Not a big deal but if you are a plus size this could make you second guess the 2nd serving of pasta 🤷🏼‍♀️.
The people of Venice don’t play when it comes to trash. Lol. Sorting and taking the trash out is necessary- it was actually a fun morning trip to the “trash boat” by 8:00 am. Just be aware there is a fine (city) if you don’t manage your recycling. This is in all self servicing lodging - so if you don’t want to trash sort like the locals then a hotel may be a better option.
Just go get lost. We loved wandering the city for hours on end, then coming home to a great bottle of wine and just watching the city float by.
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely choose this place again.
