We absolutely loved staying in Mike apartment. It was really a home away from home. Mike has though about everything to make a stay in his place as comfortable as possible. It was fantastic that Mike met us off the waterbus and the communication with him before hand was great. He is a wonderful host, very friendly and made sure everything was perfect for us, even having food in the fridge. The location was wonderful, away from the maddening crowds but close to everything. Sitting on the deck overlooking the canal was very relaxing and such a luxury after a hard days sightseeing! A supermarket very handy, restaurants a few minutes walk away and the vaporetto only 5 mins away, a picturesque walk by a canal. We loved staying in an area where the local Venetians live, feel like you are living like a local. The bed was comfortable and all the amenities such as the kitchen and bathroom facilities and clothes washer were perfect. Thank you Mike for a wonderful stay it was very hard to leave. I would recommend this apartment without hesitation if you are staying in Venice for more than a night.
