Lara is a great host. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and gave lots of great suggestions for places to go, both local and "touristy."
The apartment is everything you see in the pictures; beautiful and all the comforts of home. It's close enough to all the Must See places (St Marks Square, the Grand Canal, Doge's Palace) but off the beaten path enough to get the true local feel.
The rooms are very clean, showers are hot, and the beds are snuggle-up comfy. What more could you want? In short, I highly recommend staying here when coming to Venice.
