Staying at Micaela's apartment was great. The place really was lovely and looked accurate to pictures. It was clean, well furnished, and peaceful. The place was in the middle of the main island of Venice with easy access to all areas - about 15-20 minute walk to all the sights. Despite being in the middle of the island, it was in a nice, quiet residential area with windows that were able to block out sound from the outer streets. Micaela was nice enough to meet me at the bridge by the train station to walk me to her place and was quick to respond to any questions I had.
