If you're looking for a cosy, romantic place to stay in Venice, and want to live the city "like a local", then look no further: Michela's flat is precisely what you need.
The photos probably don't do enough justice to the charming atmosphere of the flat: newly decorated, quiet, carefully designed, and extremely clean.
Ca' dei Canali is within walking distance of both Ca' Rezzonico vaporetto stop on the Canal Grande, and San Basilio on the Giudecca. There are no bridges to cross during the walk to Ca' Rezzonico, which is a big plus when carry heavy luggage. If you are light(ish) on luggage, though, we do recommend to make the 15' walk to and from the Train Station. There will be a few bridges to cross, but the countless scenic spots you will find will make it worth the effort, especially at night.
Plenty of restaurants and shops are available nearby - although you will hardly need to buy anything, as Michela has already thought about pretty much anything you might need during your stay.
Communication with Michela was excellent, both before and during our trip. We were met at Campo Santa Margherita and she walked us to the flat, which is only a few steps away. The flat was packed with tons of useful information, clearly written with a local mindset to provide the guests with the best "genuine" Venice experience.
Michela and her husband also gave us excellent restaurant tips, which exceeded our expectations: to name two, make sure you don't miss "Osteria Enoteca Ai Artisti", a 5-minute walk from the flat, and "Il Paradiso Perduto" in Cannaregio District.
We would definitely recommend this flat to anyone wishing to stay in Venice for short or longer trips.
