We stayed here for 2 nights, the apartment is absolutely beautiful, newly renovated, sparkling clean and very specious, we are family of 4, with 13 & 11 years old kids, so it was lots of space, definitely would choose it again over hotel, and we will definitely stay again if back to Venice. Laura is very helpful. We had some problem though finding the place, for those coming first time to Venice I would advise to take taxi, to get there (if budget allows). Otherwise please make sure to recheck you directions with locals, and get on the right public boat, because it is very hard to find apartments in Venice, google maps get lost. We went on the wrong boat, and then had to walk for half hour with suitcase through the bridges of Venice.... Not easy and not fun at all. Laura was check in us in , she was stay on the phone with us full time trying to navigate us, but I understand it was hard for her too... I wish we took taxi from the start... Anyways, other then navigation issues, the apartment is exactly as pictured, absolutely beautiful and well maintained, close to all attractions, some flights of stairs to climb.
