We loved our four days in Giorgia and Michelle's apartment. The accommodation is exactly as described, proportions realistic and there was plenty of space for the two of us. The location is fantastic - we felt quite sorry for the people dragging cases for miles along Venice's narrow lanes - we had to walk less than 100 metres from the station. Lots of lovely extras in the apartment, including a welcome cold drink when we got in. We had forgotten to pack towels: no problem, a couple were there just in case. WiFi worked well and allowed us to check local events and exhibitions. Despite arriving during Italy's most recent heatwave, once the air conditioner was on, the apartment cooled comfortably. Closing the outside shutters during the day when we were out also helped cool the rooms nicely.
Michelle's recommendations for places to try food and drinks were spot on. We particularly liked Ribot, a seafood restaurant near the apartment with a lovely garden, excellent food and outstanding value. The 'Heart of Venice' Vaporetto deal at 28 Euros was excellent as a relatively inexpensive way to see the city from the Grand Canal in reasonable comfort on exclusive boats.
Michelle couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended - we will be back next year!
