Laura was a very amenable and organized hostess - in fact, super organized. Great detail about the history of Venice, the sites to see, and how best to approach Venice - brilliant. Nothing was too much to ask of her (and her dog Rex is also gorgeous!). The accommodation is completely & beautifully renovated inside - her photos do not do the apartment justice. It is everything you could want in a home away from home, and the location is brilliantly located - short walk to Vaporetto stop, supermarkets, shopping & high end. I'd certainly commend this apartment to anyone contemplating Venice! Very comfortable for 2 persons - and it even has a bidet!!
