An amazing experience. From the moment we arrived it felt as though we were visiting friends as Elena was so welcoming. We are a family of six and stayed in Venice the end of a 17 day holiday. Elena's beautiful apartment was just what we needed to recharge our batteries before tackling the madness of Venice in August. Overlooking the Rio Marin you feel totally immersed in the magic of Venice and being so close to the train station and bus station was a godsend logistically. The fact that there is an amazing local shop/deli a couple of doors made self catering for breakfast and lunch a breeze. The local area is very interesting with good restaurants and a lovely ambience in the evening. All in all cannot fault it!
