M husband and I had a fabulous 4 night stay in Venice and had the wonderful opportunity to stay at Elena’s place, an apartment that was a little haven to come back to after a busy day.
Elena met us on our arrival and gave us a map with tips on places to visit and eat, this was so useful and helped us explore places we wouldn’t have visited. The restaurant tips really helped, especially her suggestions to eat in the streets behind where we were staying. We had a lovely meal and drinks looking over the canal and definitely recommend this side of the city to explore.
Directions to the apartment couldn’t have been easier. The location is a 10 minute walk from the train station with only one small bridge to go over. So carrying bags was no problem at all.
The apartment was brilliant, so clean and spacious. Easily accommodates 4 guests, so we have to come back next time with friends. The terrace was a big bonus and definitely one of the reasons we choose the apartment. It was somewhere we could have coffee in the morning and plan our day, and then come back to and relax and enjoy a glass or 2 of wine and talk about the adventures we had that day.
We had all the facilities to cook a meal in the apartment which we did on one our new nights. There is a supermarket within a 100 metres, Despar, fantastic place to shop. It is an old theatre and definitely would recommend for all your shopping.
For ease, one night we used the restaurant right next door to the apartment, had a good meal of pasta and 1/2 litre of their house red. Reasonable price and tasty.
Everything about our stay was fantastic - thank you Elena for the opportunity of staying at this lovely apartment, we would highly recommend you as a host and apartment to visit.
We will definitely be back to Venice, and hope to meet with Elena again.
Best wishes
Sarah and Harry
