Laura is the definition of a super host - beginning with her pre-trip communication and her meeting us when we got to Venice. She should really be given her own category. We'd like to give her and her apartment six stars if we could. We have bragged about her to our friends. We HIGHLY recommend Laura and her apartment to anyone. The apartment was cozy and she had added many nice and thoughtful touches throughout. For example, we were there on Halloween and her thinking that people from the U.S. enjoy Halloween, she actually put some Halloween decorations in the room special for us! The location is excellent. It was next to a plaza with four different restaurants, a bakery, and a grocery store. Plus more restaurants a few extra steps away. But the location is nicely quiet in the evenings. AND it was an easy and enjoyable walk to all the major attractions in Venice. There is an old church and bell tower right outside the apartment. Thank you, Laura, for the decorations, the hospitality, the excellent communication, your friendly smile, and the gorgeous room.
