The photos of the outside of the building don't do it justice. Inside is clean and comfortable, with the funky open-beam feel of a loft, but totally up to date. Michela has done everything you could hope for and more to make the stay exceptional. Fresh fruit and chocolate on the counter, a cold beer in the fridge, detailed itineraries and suggestions for the first time visitor, you couldn't ask for more. She was in touch when we landed in Venice, and waiting for us at our vaporetto stop to escort us to her place. And the place is ideal; a convenient walk to everything but far enough out of the busyness to be quiet and relaxing. We loved it.
