Elena's place was quaint and very cool. A window opens to a very quiet canal with boats parked up and down. A peak out the window on either side is fantastic.
The location is away from the main tourist area but close to Campo Santa Margherita which has some cool bars and cafés and a nice nightlife of what seemed to be a younger and local crowd.
Just a short walk to the water bus and many great locations. There is also a grocery store near the water bus stop.
We'd definitely recommend staying here.
