Laura's Loft was in a great central location, close to the Rialto Bridge and only 15 minutes or so from Piazza San Marco. Laura provided bread, jam, and butter for breakfast, and some cookies later in our trip.
Laura and Settimo were great hosts! Settimo met us at the local Water Taxi stop and helped us carry our luggage to the loft. Before leaving, Settimo helped us set up the baby crib and provided a few tips on local attractions. Later in the evening, we met Laura and Settimo in a local campo for the ubiquitous Venetian cocktail - the Spritz Veneziano. Laura has lived in Venice for many years and was able to provide tips about local restaurants, historic sites, and events going on around Venice during our stay.
Overall, Laura and Settimo helped make our trip to Venice a great experience and we hope to go back to visit in the future!
