Mike’s place is great and he is a very responsive host! We took water taxis to and from the airport based on Mike’s recommendations and are very grateful. The place is very spacious for local standards. Having two bathrooms and a large living room area was a luxury. The place is pretty much as pictured. It is up a flight of stairs (no elevator). It is very functional and walking distance to lots of restaurants, stores, gelaterias, a bakery, San Marco, water buses, the train station and has easy access to a canal within half a block which makes it very convenient for water taxis. I’m other words, you don’t have to drag your luggage up and down multiple bridge stairs. While we were there neighbors on both sides were doing construction work which wasn’t too bad. They woke us up in the morning with their chatter which made us smile as it reminded us we were in Italy and the other noise just encouraged us to get out and enjoy the city. I would highly recommend Mike’s place and stay there again in a heartbeat.
