Lara and her husband, Andrea, were wonderful -- very responsive (even before we booked with them) and helpful. Lara met us at the train station and helped us get our luggage to the apartment, which was a real benefit. When we left, Andrea picked us up from the apartment and got us to the train station in time for us to catch an early train. We were really overwhelmed by their willingness to help make our trip easier and more enjoyable.

When we arrived at the apartment with Lara, she showed us around and explained how everything worked. She even walked me back outside to show me the bus stop into Venice and a place (very close by) to buy bus tickets.

The apartment is beautiful - very clean, modern, well-equipped, with attention to every detail. The beds are very comfortable, and the location is quiet. The double sinks in the bathroom were very nice to have with 4 people staying there, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. The apartment is beautifully decorated.

The location was ideal. The bus stop for buses into Venice was a 2 minute walk away, and the bus took less than 10 minutes to get to the Venice bus station which had stops for the water buses and easy access to Venice. It was also nice to stay in an area that wasn't as crowded with tourists, and that had easy access to 2 supermarkets.

Overall, the Family Suite was terrific, and Lara and Andrea were great hosts. We will definitely stay there again, and highly recommend it to other travelers to Venice.
