This was a fantastic apartment for many reasons-- Elena greeted us at check in with a tour of the space and then walked us through a very helpful map of Venice, complete with suggestions for restaurants, bakeries and sites. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen is really nice and we were able to make coffee and full breakfasts in the morning. The close proximity to St Mark's Square is convenient for seeing the sites and easy access to sites nearby-- it can stay pretty loud at night, but closing the shutters helped a bit. We'd definitely recommend Elena's apartment to any couple spending a few days in Venice!
