It was a real treat to stay in Laura's apartment! If you are planning on being in Venice for several days and are looking for the perfect balance between peaceful relaxation and sight seeing, then this place is for you. This authentic and perfectly equipped Italian sanctuary is just 15 minutes boat ride across the canal from San Marco Plaza, and provides a much needed getaway from the masses. I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable stay in Giudecca. I had a conference at the Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel which is literally one minute from Laura's flat- so it was absolutely perfect. It took a little over an hour to arrive on the water bus from Venice Marco Polo to Giudecca and Laura was kind enough to meet me in the early morning at the dock and welcome me by walking me to the flat and sharing with me the basics of everything I needed to know. 5 stars all the way around, I hope to be back one day!!!
