Micaela is the only host in all my years of renting apartments who has ever met us at the train station. When you are in a new city in a foreign country, just getting to the apartment can be a huge stress. This is really a lovely gesture which speaks greatly of the attention Micaela pays to her guests. She pays a lot of attention to the details in her home, providing snacks/juice/sweets/coffee and lots of necessary items which many airbnb hosts will not think of (like enough toilet paper, two sets of keys, a marked map, or even something like paper towels!) Her home is perfect for exploring Venice. It is very spacious and well located. Families with children (including toddlers) will especially fall in love with this home. The large yard was perfect for our 16 mo old to run around in, the cot she provided made us have to bring less luggage, the kitchen perfect for cooking at home, and the home was toddler friendly. We would return to Micaela's apartment in a heart beat.
