We highly recommend Laura's apartment! It's on the top floor (yes a walk up, typical for Venice, maybe not the best choice for people with mobility issues) so there is no danger of a flooded apartment. Also, you get great light and a lovely lovely view. Who knew how relaxing it is to watch boats on the canal. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. The apartment is clean and stylish. I particularly loved the bedroom, I wanted to take it home with me. So cozy, nice lights, and the sun gently wakes you up in the morning. We were here in October and the heating worked well. Laura always responded very quickly, and check in was very easy with her husband. Laura had a lot of great recommendations for our trip and she thinks of everything--she even put Wellies and umbrellas in the apartment. The neighborhood is a major plus point, there are restaurants, supermarkets, cafes, only a few minutes away, yet this street is very quiet. There is a great bakery near Campo Santa Margherita that we passed everyday, and we loved the little bars by the canal for aperitivo and cicchetti.
