Laura's apartment is truly spectacular! The location on the Grand Canal is perfect and the building is very secure. This was our first time in Venezia so we appreciated Laura's patience and quick replies to all of our questions. We love the view from her front window and the awesome artwork that adorns the walls and ceiling. I'm 6' 4" tall so, yes, the shower is small for me but who cares!?! Take a quick shower and get out and explore the beauty surrounding you! We'll be back to this apartment, without a doubt! Buon viaggio!
