It is not possible to overstate just how much we loved Laura's place! I was traveling solo with my 3 kids, and the apartment was perfect for us. It is on the 3rd floor (4th for you Americans!) but that was a minor consideration compared to the location, charm and comfort of the place. Laura is a fantastic host - very responsive to questions, and was very nice about the fact that we checked in 4 hours late, due to train delays. Other good points - the beds are surprisingly comfortable, the WiFi is great (happy kids!!), and the kitchen is well appointed. The location is perfect - out of the hustle and bustle, but close to transportation and there are good restaurants and a grocery store within very easy walking distance. We loved our time in Venice, and Laura's place made it extra special!
