Lara and her husband are the sweetest hosts! Their flat was spacious and even though we didn't have kids, we can see it has all the extra special touches for families to stay with toys and foam mats and even a PS3 for the kids. Super convenient location with 2 large markets just minutes away and the bus directly into Venice just a block down. Free 24/7 parking on side streets very close to the building was very easy to get. Flat is on the 6th floor with an elevator. Clothes washer was available in unit. Bedrooms and living area very spacious and comfortable for our party of 5. Hot water was plentiful. We would definitely recommend Lara's place to anyone visiting Venice!!
