Laura is an outstanding host! She puts in so much effort to make you feel like you are at home with all her attention to detail. Things such as freshly baked goods, fresh fruit, drinks in the fridge, ribbon-tied towels, house slippers for each guest, beautifully made crib for our baby (nicer than we ever have it at home!), large-sized toiletries to use in the bathrooms, maps, etc... all in which helped us to feel comfortable.
She also welcomed us at the bridge near the train station and helped us carry our bags/stroller to the flat. It is a very short walk from the station and the bonus is that it is also steps away from the water bus and the one that can take you straight to the airport. Another perk is that the boat that picks up your rubbish is also steps away from the flat so it makes it easy to drop it off on your way out.
Everything was very accessible and walkable from here either by foot or via water. We were a family of 4 adults and one baby with a stroller and it was great! Laura has great recommendations for restaurants nearby, and the most popular one is about 100 meters from the front door. The line up is long and the reservations are booked well in advance, so I'd book prior to arrival.
Laura's home is perfect and filled with higher-end appliances and renovated touches. Our baby was free to crawl and cruise in the open area because of the cleanliness and openness. This was a nice change from the other cities we visited in Italy and was the best way to end our trip.
Please stay in this gorgeous home and give it the love and respect any home should have so that it can be around for many more years for others to enjoy too!
