Michela's place on Podesta' was wonderful! The lofted space for the bedroom was very comfortable, and the lower space was great as well. Michela welcomed us with a bottle of wine and complete instructions for the place. She was very welcoming and amenable. The place was clean. Great view!
It's located a short walk from a bus stop with a few buses that will take you directly downtown. It's also far enough outside of town that we could easily rent a car for two days (Hertz on Via del Sansovino) and not have to worry about entering the ZTL. We could also find parking nearby both nights.
The ONLY trouble (which was NOT a big trouble at all), as others have mentioned, was the bathroom. The hot water in the shower DOES WORK, but it can be tricky. The shower sometimes doesn't activate the water heater - in this case, it helps to turn the hot water on in the sink so the water heater sparks up (just a large enough stream that you hear the water heater kick on). The bathroom was clean.
We were out all day every day of our stay, and Michela provided a lovely place for us to return to and feel cozy and comfortable every night. Thank you, Michela!
