Michela's apartment is, without a doubt, the best we have ever stayed in - anywhere! Indeed, we simply can't fault it! Not only is it exactly as advertised, and extremely well-located, but Michela herself is one of the most thoughtful and helpful hosts you are ever likely to encounter. More detail? Sure. Well, to begin with, whether you're coming into Venice by train (which is how we arrived) or by plane (which is how we departed), the apartment is both easy and cheap to get to, as it is just a couple of hundred metres from a dock where you can catch a vaporetto to/from either the main train station (Santa Lucia) or one of the city's airports. Best of all, between the point at which you embark/disembark and your front door, there are no steps! At all! Okay, there are a few once you get through that door, and they are a little steep, but, once you get inside, you will forget every single one of them - and any other difficulties you might have had getting to Venice! The apartment is spacious but cozy, and has been renovated/decorated with great care, skill and love. Michela wants you to go away with as many happy memories spent indoors as outdoors: and you will, believe me! The largely antique furnishings and beautifully restored wooden beams are complemented by a contemporary kitchen (which is very well-equipped) and a bright, spacious bathroom (which is also well-equipped). Cleverly laid out and with every appliance you could possibly desire, this is the kind of "home away from home" you'll wish was home. Michela will provide you with detailed (written) instructions as well as a welcome package that includes the ingredients to make a "Bellini" (created at Harry's Bar in Venice, c. 1930/40), fresh fruit, pasta, a can of crushed, tomatoes, coffee, tea, milk, juice, local biscuits, etc. I should also add that, out of sheer kindness, she came to collect us from the train station and from there escorted us to her/our apartment, where she immediately attended to a problem with the new a/c system, staying in touch with us even after she had gone to Greece on holiday to make sure that we were comfortable, happy and not in need of anything! We will certainly return to Venice in the future and, provided it is available, will always stay at Michela's apartment. Grazie, Michela for being so caring, attentive and generous! You made us feel like family! Alla prossima!
