Michela's apartment more than lived up to expectations. I based my choice on the images available and reviews from other guests. It is in a lovely part of Venice, located away from the busiest areas but within easy walking distance. We did not take a boat tour, but walked everywhere as this is the way to see everything and not miss anything out. The buildings, churches, canals and general vibe are amazing. I would recommend the short boat trip to Murano, make sure to see one of the glass making workshops. My tip would be to beware of the seagulls if you are eating any food in the street, my daughter had a slice of pizza snatched from her hand! We witnessed this happen to two other people on separate days! Superb city break which I would definitely repeat. Thank you Michela for your help and advice, and for your beautiful apartment.
