The apartment is a gem and Michela and her husband delightful as hosts, as well as extremely prompt / accurate in the communications leading up to our stay. The apartment itself is charming, recently refurbished from the ground up and furnished with good taste. It is impeccably cleaned and maintained and looks exactly as shown on the profile pictures. Every accessory we could think of is there, from a full range of kitchen and cooking utensils to a washing machine and ironing facilities. The WiFi connection was very fast and stable. It was such a pleasure to come home to such an attractive and cozy space during our stay. The apartment location is perfect - centrally located and convenient to all points of interest within the city. Venice is, at any rate, a very compact city to navigate on foot and with the help of the occasional vaporetto, almost regardless of location. The most attractive feature of the neighborhood where the apartment is located is that it is one of those small oasis of "true" residential Venice, surrounded by establishments (restaurants, retail, grocery and specialty food stores - including a fresh produce boat that docks each morning on a canal adjacent to the apartment, where it is possible to buy great fruits and vegetables) frequented by local Venetians as much as visiting tourists. As an Italian national who lives in the U.S. and visits Italy regularly, I will certainly plan to stay here again on my next visit to Venice. In summary, an excellent and highly recommended stay experience!
