The apartment was great, really well located, fully equipped, nice decor. But what really made the difference was the Host, Elena was WONDERFUL, she went to pick us up where our water taxi dropped us of on the main Canal to walk us all the way to the property. She speaks multiple languages and made it easy to communicate for our whole group.
Then she provided us some great recommendations for things to see, off the beaten path as well as places to eat.
She even helped us arrange our transport back through her connections. Really a GEM
