Our stay at Laura's place was wonderful. She greeted us upon our arrival and provided us with a map of Venice, highlighted with key sights and services (very helpful!). The apartment is great...spacious and well-appointed with everything we needed: a fully-functional kitchen, pack-n-play and toys for our 14-month old daughter, outdoor patio, and plenty of room for lounging around and relaxing. We loved the location as it was close to many restaurants and shops but far enough from the hustle and bustle of the very touristy parts of Venice that our stay was peaceful. I also feel that this allowed us to experience the local culture a bit more. Additionally, the apartment is super close to the Water Bus (Vaporetto) so even the farthest reaches of the city are easily reached. Laura was exceptionally easy to communicate with and was understanding when we needed to delay our checkout by 45 minutes.
In short, we loved our stay and would definitely book Laura's place again if we return to Venice!
