Laura was great- she communicated with us quickly and thoroughly. She gave us explicit instructions for getting to her apartment, and met us at the water taxi dock and helped us transport our luggage.
Her apartment was exactly as pictured and described, and was very clean and well-located. She provided excellent info about what to do and see, including several restaurant recommendations. For one especially, she promised that if we mentioned her name, we would be treated well, and the experience did not disappoint! We were fussed over, and given special treatment --and the food was delicious!
Thank you, Laura, for making our trip to Venice such a delight! We had a wonderful time exploring other parts of the city than San Marcos (which, in our opinion, has lost much of its previous charm with the influx of high end designer stores at the expense of losing local artisans' shops). San Croce and Dorsoduro were especially enjoyable!
