We are just back from a lovely holiday in Venice and enjoyed our stay at Michela and Carla’s apartment.
The apartment: We were a family of 4 adults (including my parents who are senior citizens) and 1 kid and the space in the apartment was perfectly suited for us. The 2 bedrooms are spacious, with comfortable and large beds and adequate bed linens and blankets for use. The kitchen was well equipped with things you will need for a holiday and more. All basic requirements are taken care of to prepare a basic meal if you choose to prepare a quick meal at home. There is a lovely dining room where we would all sit to have our morning cup of tea and relax at the end of a hectic day of traveling. The bathroom is clean and well stocked with towels and all basic essentials. There is a nice little sit out area overlooking the quiet neighbourhood.
The location: perfect for travel to Venice and also to other cities close to Venice. The tram station is just about 3-4 minutes away on foot from where a tram takes you to Venice in 20 minutes. The Mestre central station from where you can get a train to any other city for day trips is a 15 minutes ride on a bus; the bus stop is again about 5 minutes walk. All in all, a great location, away from the crowd of Venice yet with easy access to Venice. There are quite a few restaurants and stores close by the apartment. There is a restaurant right below the apartment that serves good pasta!
The hosts: both Michela and Carla are great hosts. All my communication with Michela was smooth and I always received quick and clear responses to all my queries. Our check in was smooth and Michela and Carla provided us with all the tips required for our stay and travel. Both of them are extremely warm and positive people. You can see their personal touches in the way the apartment is done up, keeping in mind the needs of guests and the intent of providing a beautiful pleasant stay!
All in all, we are happy we chose this apartment for our stay in Venice and recommend it 100%!
