Our three night stay at Ca' Laura was amazing! The apartment is roomy, feels larger due to the peaceful canal views from each room, and was very comfortable for the four of us. It's in a quiet residential part of town, yet minutes from San Marco and the center of town. Cristian could not have been more hospitable. He communicated with us in advance of our visit to Venice and met us at the boat dock on our arrival from the airport. He explained in detail the workings of the apartment, and gave us wonderful recommendations for neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores. He even treated us to personalized tour of the glass factory in Murano, where he works. Cristian then went above and beyond by helping mail a painting which we forgot in the apartment to Rome (our next stop)! I highly recommend Ca' Laura, and if our fortunes take us to Venice again that is where we will be staying.
