Our visit to Venice got off to a great start! Our delightful host Laura greeted us at the water bus platform. Feeling slightly sleep deprived, we immediately felt uplifted by Laura's fantastic energy and superb introduction to Venice. She pointed us in the right directions to enrich our experience of this fabulous unique city. One of the great surprises of Venice is its sleepiness away from the throngs of bustling tourists doing the usual trail. And that's one of the fabulous boasts of this wonderful little flat: a place to escape when the hustle and bustle gets too much. And it's walking distance to everywhere and a couple of minutes from the water bus stop of you are feeling particularly lazy!
