We stayed at Michela's place for 10 nights and it could not have gone better.
The apartment looks even better than the photos - oh my goodness it's so precious - filled with books, art and objects that have clearly been collected with love over a lifetime.
Coming up in the antique lift felt like entering a Wes Anderson film. We felt very privileged to stay there. It set the tone for an amazing adventure exploring the Biennale.
It's worth noting the location. It's so convenient for the airport bus - so you can really max out your time - and it's jammed full of great bars and restaurants. It's also easy to navigate to Zattere after a few Spritz - from there you can get a fast boat to Giardini.
Thanks Michela for great communication. We can't wait to return again soon!
