We had a great stay in Laura's apartment. The location is great, and the accommodations are terrific. It really was perfect.
We arrived a bit on the early side and Laura tried very hard to greet us early, but her day was already quite full. The cleaning people let us drop our bags quickly and we met Laura in Campo Santa Margherita, which is very close to the apartment. It's such a charming little square and we ended up spending a lot of time here on the trip.
The apartment is up quite a few stairs. If you have heavy luggage, just be prepared that it's quite a walk up to the 4th floor. We knew this, so were prepared. Also, it's just far enough away from the train that it's a bit of a hike with bags and none of the nearby vaporetto stops make it much easier.
The apartment itself was really everything we needed. The bedrooms are just the right size, beds are fine, good closet space, the kitchen was well-appointed and it was great to be able to make good coffee in the morning. Laura had made sure we had coffee and juice upon our arrival.
The bathroom was great as well. There is a little issue (which I think is getting resolved) with the shower curtains. There's a curtain over the window for privacy, and then a curtain to keep the water from the floor. There is a very narrow space in between, so with hot water sometimes you feel stuck between two curtains. I think Laura is addressing that, really it just needs the curtain between the shower and the floor moved out a bit.
The location is so great, just out of the tourist areas, but close enough to everything.
Next time in Venice, we will book this again.
Thanks, Laura!!!
