Laura was a wonderful host. She met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the flat (and it was raining). She gave us a thorough introduction and showed us where everything was and how everything worked. She also told us about Venice and sights not to miss. The flat was very clean and comfortable, and washer/dryer and dishwasher made things very convenient. The bed leaves a bit to be desired as one side of the mattress was quite saggy, but the pillows were great. The location was fabulous - it was away from the touristy areas, but close enough that you could reach them with a short walk or from the close by vaporetto stop. We had a fabulous few days in gorgeous Venice and would recommend Laura's flat!
