Laura is a great host who makes the guests feel at home. There are many thoughtful touches throughout the apartment (e.g. sweets, guide books, complementary coffee). She has thought it through from the perspective of the guests completely and there are many instructions throughout the room setting out the rules. She had the sleeper couch already converted to a bed and it was made up. The bathroom is pleasant and the shower is really nice. The nearby Church bell goes off in the morning at 08:00 which is a charming sound and a nice start to the day. The location is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and around 20 minutes from St Marco square. The area is relatively quite. Laura can not accommodate luggage after check out or before check in so you have to either time your visit well or store the luggage near the train station (cash only) so you need to take that into account when planning the visit (and try to travel light).
