Michela's place was exactly as described. Why you should stay here: the location is fantastic. Only minutes walk to Piazza San Marco, and there are dozens of great restaurants nearby. The apartment was more spacious than we expected. It was modern and clean.
You will read all sorts of traveller stories about how difficult it is to get around in Venice, if you are carrying heavy luggage. There aren't too many bridges between the boat wharf and the apartment. In fact, there is only one if you take the boat to S.Zaccaria.
