Manuela’s one bedroom studio was modern and super cozy with a beautiful view of the near by canal. Bella Italia! I finally made the trip to Italy for my birthday which is in the end of February. Off season so very little traffic compared to what imagined. However it was very very cold and rainy and I did not come prepared for the weather! When I booked my trip the weather was predicted to be in the high 50s or low 60s. It was in the 20s and 30s while I was there. I did receive some great recommendations from one of the managers that work for Manuela named Chiara. She was very patient with and I am so grateful for since I was late by two hours since I had some issues with my bank, cell phone provider, and my battery died at the airport. Pro tip bring two extra portable batteries for your phone, download maps to phone for offline usage, and study the Italian language thoroughly. The heater did end up going out at this place but Manuela was kind enough to upgrade me to a bigger place with heat and refunded me one day which I did not expect at all! Also this place is located on the southern island of Giudecca so you must ride the vaporetto (water bus) to get to the other side of Venice and make it to the city center. Study the routes carefully and it’s not bad at all. I plan to come back to Italy when is warmer for sure! Very professional and excellent hospitality. Thank you Manuela and Chiara for all your help and recommendations!
