As Airbnb virgins, Laura's apartment was our first. What a fantastic experience! Laura gave us exact directions on how to get to the vaporetto stop where she met us with a smile. She led us to her apartment and allowed us to store our luggage until the 3pm check-in time. This was very kind since we were quite early arriving from our cruise. Laura met us again when we returned at 3pm. The apartment was exactly as described and pictured in the ad on Airbnb. The kitchen was even provisioned with coffee and tea so we did not have to rush out to the grocery. The canal view out the kitchen window was quite nice with even an occasional gondola. The location is great, just a few steps to the Rialto market with its fresh fish and produce and only a few more to the Rialto bridge and then beyond to Piazza San Marco. We walked this several times and also took the vaporetto. Walking is much faster! Thank you so much Laura for sharing your corner of Venice with us!
