This apartment was a lucky find in Venice. It was spotlessly clean, well organized and absolutely quiet (there was no noise from the apartments above or beside). It was nice to stay in an apartment that had been so thoughtfully set up for functional living - something you appreciate when you are doing a lot of travelling - and not just something that looks good in the photos. Laura has thought of every little touch to make the apartment work well for an extended stay in Venice, including a functional kitchen so that you can buy food at the fabulous local market and do all your own cooking. Laura was very helpful with details about the apartment and tips on seeing Venice, but was also very careful to make sure that you felt it was your own space while you were there. The location as well, is fantastic. You are away from the busy tourist areas and living more with locals, which was very nice, but also only minutes away from the water taxi (although you can also easily walk everywhere if you want) and a fabulous fish and veg market. We had a wonderful experience in Venice in January and this apartment gave us a fantastic base to discover the unexpected in this fabulous city! Thankyou Laura for a wonderful stay!
