Laura's place is exactly how it is described: beautiful apartment perfect for two, great kitchen and large bedroom with a window going to the Grand Canal. You can watch the hustle and bustle during in the morning ir during the day and enjoy some quiet moments at night. The apartment itself is in an old palazzo housing the Italian Finance Department so it's clean and secure. One improvement suggestion: the shower head in the bathroom is a bit old and could be replaced with a better one. Otherwise, we were very happy.
Laura was a great host-ask her about restaurant recommendations and she will give you all her favorites. The ones we tried were very authentic with tasty food at a reasonable price.
