We had a great time staying at this apartment. The location is fantastic, right by the Rialto Bridge, and it makes a very good base for exploring Venice.

The view from the window really is as good as the photographs suggest, and it was great fun watching the gondola crossing go back and forth.

Michela and her family were very friendly, polite and helpful throughout our stay. On the first night we had a problem with the hot water, but Michela's husband came and fixed it first thing the next morning.

The apartment has very recently been refurbished, and has everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the stove and oven are both new and very easy to use. Combined with the Rialto markets and the nearby supermarket, it means you can easily cook in the apartment if you don't want to eat out every night.

We would recommend this apartment to anybody who is visiting Venice.
