When we arrived at the train station we felt a bit disoriented with all the bridges and Google Maps being next to useless in Rome How would we ever find our apartment ! We contacted Laura and in 10 minutes there she was to meet us and walk us to our place. She spent time giving us tips on where to go, where to eat and what to see during our stay. Lots of maps and guides on her shelf in the apartment. The location is fabulous. Off the tourist beaten track, but walking distance to everything. Truly an authentic Venetian experience. Laura is great host.
