If you are looking for a central location to stay in Venice, but is also a peaceful retreat from the chaos that sometimes surrounds this place (due to tourist!), this is the perfect place. This place is essentially located between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square.
Laura's place is spacious and decorated in a culturally perfectly manner with artwork and is well-appointed. The kitchen is highly functional, and two grocery stores are within an easy 5 minute walk. But if you are like us, we enjoyed the dining options in the area, esp. the Marco Paolo restaurant.
While we never saw Laura, she was very responsive to our emails and any inquiries we had. Highly recommended!
