First of all Lara is the best. The check in experience at this stay was the best I have had period. Lara met us on time, helped us unload our bags, walked us through the operation of the house furnishings, explained the necessary logistics of traveling to venice, also how to travel In and around venice. She guided me to where I parked our car, which is very safe and secure about 2 blocks away. Afterwards she drove me around the immediate area of Mestre to highlight grocery stores and restaurants. This initial support made all the difference in our experience in Venice.
The apartment was very clean, very well furnished, and had a great layout for our family of five. There were children’s books, board games, a PlayStation 2 with several games, and lots of movies. There was also an extra bed we did not use. There is also a fantastic wine store just downstairs (La Cantina Degli Amici).
I would highly recommend this stay for your trip to Venice and surrounding areas.
