Staying at Giorgia's and Michele's apartment was a perfect way to end our 30 day trip to Italy! Before we even left for Italy they did a great job of communicating with us. They reminded us a few days before we got to Venice to let them know our arrival time. They directed us to the best way to Venice and where to leave our car. Michele met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment. He is very engaging, funny, witty, and best of all - nice. He gave us great tips on how to avoid the hordes of tourists and where to go to see how real Venetians live. We were only in Venice for three days and fell in love with the city because we followed all of Michele's advice. The photos of the apartment do not do it justice. Everything was in top shape. Our stay prior to arriving to Venice was a five star hotel and we were much more comfortable in this apartment. Best view: looking out the window on the small, quaint canal as gondolas float by - sometimes with Gondoliers singing beautiful songs. A little (lot) touristy, but it was pretty - and convinced me I didn't have to rent one. We recommend this apartment highly. We will stay there again if we go back to Venice.
