Let me start by thanking Laura for all the information she sent before we even arrived in Venice. Her recommendations were very helpful. We met her near the apartment and found her to be a fountain of information. Based on our interests she mapped out several things to consider doing while there. She then walked us to the apt. and explained a few more details about the flat, how the AC worked, when to take the garbage out, etc.
The apartment was one of the nicest we stayed in on our trip. The views were great from all vantage points. We only used the kitchen one night, but it was completely adequate for cooking. The kids liked having their own room somewhat away from us. We loved the neighborhood completely. Walking along the Zattere in the evening, people watching in the morning in the town square nearby, and every corner, worthy of a picture. We had lots of fun at a festival on the other side of town, hanging out with the locals and eating the food, listening to the music. We also loved riding bikes on Lido and having a little beach time. It's tricky to find a place that's so close to everything, yet doesn't feel like it's where tourists go - this is such a place. This is a wonderful flat, and I thank Laura so much for her help and sharing it with us. I would return in a heartbeat.
