Laura was an exceptional host. Although her command of English was not great, it wasnt a problem as she was able to show me around her apartment and explain some information regarding locations of places, vaporettos, etc. The apartment was immaculate, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The location was superb, very close to a key vaporetto stop and restaurants, museums, etc. It was very quiet at night as well. Laura also had left some juice, coffee and biscuits for my enjoyment, and there was no issues with the wireless connection. Although it rained for most of my stay in Venice, this didnt really detract from my enjoyment of this very special place, and having a nice cosy apartment to retire to at the end of each day made my stay even more satisfying. I would not hesitate in recommending this apartment to a single, double or even a small family.
