It is a shame to only be able to allow 5 stars to Michela and the Ca' dei Canali apartment! The ranking they deserve is over AirBNB standars.
It all started up with very easy communications before our arrival to help schedule the meeting point (Venice not being the easiest city to travel when it is your first time).
Then it is all the little things that make the experience with Michela so unforgettable. From a nice welcome at the waterbus station to a very detailed listing of recommended restaurants and special attentions to make us feel at home (fruits, water, juice and Bellini in the fridge), Michela is setting the bar very high for other AirBNB hosts.
Then the apartment... to tell the truth, it was our first AirBNB experience and we were not having super high expectations. Our objectives were to spend most of our time visiting the city and we didn't really care about the apartment as long as it was clean and secure (visiting with our 11 years old kid).
This is where we just underestimated the reservation we made.
The apartment is just flawless. It beats our expectations by a mile. It just makes us regret to not stay any longer in this fantastic city.
By the way, the apartment was ideally located for us, just a little bit outside the crazy crowded areas.
We highly recommend this apartment and thank Michela for making our stay in Venice so peaceful and enjoyable.
