My wife and I had an amazing time in Venice staying in Laura's place. After our flight was delayed, Laura even came to meet us at the bus station in the middle of the night and walked us back to the apartment and then spent time talking us through the highlights of the local area.
It was amazing watching the gondola's from the apartment windows and we appreciated the traditional Italian Moka coffee maker and coffee that was provided. The location of the apartment was great too, close to the train station, bus stop, and water taxi along with restaurants and was walking distance from all of the major attractions. We had a great time!
