We never met Laura but her sister came to meet us from the water bus station to take us to her apartment. First impressions were amazing great location and there not joking about the amazing view. We got loads of really good information about places to eat and see. Everything is in walking distance but the water bus service is also very reliable. The shower in the apartment is a little tricky to use and as we were there in the middle of July so could have used a fan to help with sleeping but the bed was very comfortable and overall really enjoyed our stay.
