Laura is a fantastic host and I was able to check in very early on the day of arrival. All appliances are excellent and there was even free coffee, milk, bread, butter, jam, etc. The apartment is decent, but a bit dark and not as nice as the pictures suggest. But this is the case for most apartments in Venice. Location is excellent, 2 minutes walk from Rialto Bridge and a nice fruit / vegetable market. So, overall, I can definitely recommend Laura's apartment.
