Michela greeted us upon arrival and explained the workings of the apartment. The apartment was very clean and supplied with everything necessary, plus more. We felt comfortable and at home. Michela was a great hostess, and always replied promptly to any questions we had. We have rented apts. in Italy for 15 years, with a broad range of hosts, and Michela is by far the best hostess we have ever had. She gave us great advice, and provided us with all the information we needed to fully enjoy our stay in Venice. The location was very desirable, close to transportation, museums, stores, etc. It is a real neighborhood, and one of the quietest places we have stayed in. We also enjoyed watching daily life on a quiet canal.
