The apartment is beautiful. Waking up to the views of the Grand Canal and the boats gliding through was great. The location is fantastic, really easy to navigate moving around by foot or water bus. Laura was very kind and had very good insight (from a local's perspective) for places to go to and things to do. Venice is worth every second you spend there. If you don't like tourist filled areas, wonder away from the main arteries, stay up and get lost during the night. One of the best trips ever.
