WOW - this apartment exceeded all expectations! Laura and her sister Francesca were excellent hosts, very thorough with communication before the trip, and then showing us around and giving us great tips once we arrived. And the apartment itself is breathtaking. My friend and I spent a good amount of our time in Venice on the window perch and the dock below the apartment, just people watching right on the Grand Canal. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I would return to Venice just to stay at this place again.
