Laura offers a great place to stay! It is on a canal, just what you want for a stay in Venice. It is a 2 minute walk to a public plaza, which provides provisions and entertainment at a distance that allows a quiet-enough place for sleeping. The main plaza (Pl Roma) is a short, direct walk. Laura was unable to meet us, so she sent Marta, who met us at Ca'Rezzonico water bus stop. At first, it seemed perhaps an overindulgence, but we soon realized that it was very necessary, as we would have had great difficulty in finding the apartment without our guide. Marta took us to the apartment, gave us some perfect recommendations, and explained everything we could need to know. Laura offers a great place to stay at a good price. Venice's major attractions are within easy walking distance for people used to walking (Venice would not be a good choice for someone who has trouble walking). We loved staying at Laura's place and would hope it would be available when we visit again.
