We’ve rented several apartments using airbnb and Michela’s apartment is by far the best!

The apartment gives you a true sense of being in Venice. Open the windows and the Grand Canal is in front of you. The market below gives you a sense of the sites and sounds of everyday life in Venice. Close the windows and you have a pleasant respite from living, breathing city outside and below.

In this sunny apartment the décor is simple and elegant. Kitchen is very well equipped and everything is in pristine condition. To be welcome with a table setting (as pictured) was a very pleasant surprise and gave us an immediate sense of being at home.

To give you a sense of Michela’s thoughtfulness here are few items that are on hand- a first aid kit, extra light bulbs, batteries, adapters to name a few.

Other hosts have supplied tourist information but Michela’s level of detail surprised us. For example, there were suggestions, complete with personalized google maps and summaries, on non-tourist walking tours of Venice. As well as complete restaurant guide with summaries across a spectrum of options.

A few days before our arrival Michela emailed detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment depending on our mode of arrival. We arrived by car (Piazzale Roma) and found out that there was a transportation strike. We called Michela to discuss our options for getting to the apartment and she surprise us by telling us her husband (Giovanni) was already at the Vaporetto stop waiting for us to get us to the apartment!

This apartment is filled with love. We highly recommend staying at Michela's apartment for your stay in Venice.
