Stefano was extremely flexible with my husband and I, as we were only in Venice for 1 night, and he was kind enough to let us rent his apartment for the 1 night--it was in a cute, quiet location just a short walk away from the Rialto bridge. Stefano gave very clear and easy-to-follow directions to reach his place--the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was great and the living space gave you an extra area to put your stuff, sit on the couch or table and plenty of "kitchen" space in his hand-made kitchen cupboard that holds everything. We loved the area, Stefano is next door if you need anything, he and his wife were kind enough to hold our luggage the next day as we had a late flight...it was so kind of them to let us explore the cite and not have to worry about our luggage. he recommended 2 restaurants within walking distance and both were wonderful! thank you Stefano/Mikela for your hospitality and kindness!
