We spent 3 days at Giorgia and Michele’s apartment and everything was exactly as we imagined or even better.
When we arrived at the train station Michele was waiting for us on the platform. It was a delightful surprise since we had not arranged that.
Once we arrived at the flat, we were very pleased. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures, the apartment was very clean, tidy and had a nice smell. The view of the canal from the windows is an attraction itself, just beautiful! During our stay we had the company of a couple of seagulls who were building a nest in the building in front.
The flat is really new, very well decorated and painted.
In the kitchen everything worked perfectly. It was very well equipped, had the basics for cooking, including some treats left by owners, such as coffee, sugar, salt, biscuits and inside the fridge a beer and a soda. In the bathroom, there were fluffy towels, toilet paper and even little soaps. The bed in the room had good mattress and pillows and a delicious duvet.
The flat was very well heated and despite the cold outside the temperature was very comfortable for us. Even though we live in England now, we are from Brazil, so we are not used to cold weather!
The location was excellent, 5 minutes from the train station and the vaporeto and 20 from Piazza San Marco. Since you need to walk in Venice to go from one place to the other, we preferred to stay near the train station, so that we wouldn’t need to walk big distances carrying our suitcases.
The flat is at the back of the building, so there is no noise from the street. It has everything you may need near, market, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, shops, pharmacy and so on. Michele gave us a map with all the essential places marked on it. We didn’t get to know Giorgia because she was at home with their 20 days old newborn.
Well, we really recommend this flat and would go back there for sure.
Tank you Michele, Giorgia and baby for making our days in Venice so special! Ivone and Fernando.
