This apartment was, as advertised, in an extremely good location close to a Vaporetto stop and within walking distance of the centre. It was on the canal and was, until the final morning (when someone thumped around upstairs from about 0730am), reasonably quiet. Elena herself was helpful with instructions, and left us to our trip as desired.

However, a major drawback was the bed. This was small for two people, low off the ground, generally uncomfortable, and specifically uncomfortable due to the metal bar running up its centre and another dividing the torso from the head section. I find it hard to believe that two people have ever slept comfortably on this bed. In our case, one of us slept on the pull out bed each of the three nights - hardly ideal for what was hoped to be a relaxing, 'romantic' trip. (And that spare bed was hardly much better.) Even with one person on the double, it provided a fairly rough sleeping experience. I do realise that for Venice rates the apartment was cheap and as such luxury can't be expected, but at minimum I would imagine that besides warmth and safety, a vaguely reasonable bed would be a top priority...So, much to recommend the place, but personally I wouldn't fancy sleeping on those beds again...
