My husband and I have just spent 5 nights staying at Ca'Laura. It's a recently refitted apartment with modern decoration (painted white, modern furniture, new kitchen and bathroom) in a traditional Venetian building. It's very clean and spacious with some thoughtful touches - Murano glass light fittings, glass tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, a good collection of guidebooks and a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge! It's in a very nice location, overlooking a quiet canal about 10 minute's walk from St Mark's Square and close to 2 waterbus stops. The apartment also has air conditioning - very welcome in the heat of July - as well as wifi. Cristian was a very helpful host - firstly he responded to all our messages very promptly, which was really reassuring, and helped to explain how to get to the apartment from the airport which initially confused us. He met us at the waterbus stop and took us to the apartment and clearly explained how things worked. He also gave us some good advice about local restaurants and where to find shops, which we particularly appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay - thanks Cristian! - highly recommended.
