Elena's apartment is just gorgeous. We were expecting a great apartment at a good value, and ended up in an awesome apartment at an awesome value. Everything looks and feels brand new and modern, despite Venice being an old fashioned town. The location is wonderful, since it is just a few minutes away from supermarket, restaurants, and, most importantly, water bus ports to both the train station and other islands.
One thing to remember, in this part of Venice, there are no streets, so, you'll have to walk either from the train station or the water bus ports - not a pretty thing to do with heavy suitcases. And the apartment is in a second floor, so another reason to pack lightly.
