Staying in Elda's apartment was amazing for our trip to Venice. It was in an amazing location, just a few minutes from a water bus stop and the main tourist areas of the city but far enough away that it wasn't clogged with tourists during the day. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and a grocery store. The apartment was clean and the air conditioner helped a lot since it was so hot during our visit. Elda was very helpful and managed to communicate well despite her not speaking English and us not speaking Italian. She provided linens which was great. Overall, we had an amazing stay in Elda's apartment and I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Venice!
