We spent 2 nights in Laura's beautiful apartment in Venice and we're very sorry to leave. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable, a true home away from home, with lots of thoughtful little touches on Laura's part that made for a truly special stay. Laura and Alessio were warm, generous and very welcoming. They clearly care about their guests being happy.
The apartment itself is within walking distance of the station, bus terminal and vaporetto stops, so it's easy to get around. The square it is situated in is very picturesque and the apartment has some lovely canal views. There are several bars and restaurants on the square as well as a supermarket. The apartment is not in a heavily touristy district so a great getaway if the crowds at San Marco get a bit much.
I'd reccomend staying with Laura to any couple seeking a romantic holiday in Venice and I wish we'd been able to stay longer!
