Laura provided nice directions to the apartment and we were able to drop off our bags before check-in. She provides lot's of maps and info to help with your stay in Venice. We found the location to be nice and central. The vaporetto stop is close by which made for easy access from the train station and an easy trip to the airport. The apartment was nice and very clean. The washing machine was useful. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals. A great stay in Venice!
