We had a delightful stay at Ca Annalaura 1! The property was cozy, welcoming and very clean. All of the facilities were in excellent condition and working order. We had everything we needed, and more. It was just as described and pictured. The apartment is on a very quiet little street, and I had the best sleep of my life with no cars and no noise! Although the neighborhood is very very quiet, it is just a few minutes from many little local restaurants that are wonderful and very much off the beaten track. It is a very easy maybe 10 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. It is about 1-2 minutes from Arsenale vaporetto stop and easy transport by boat to anywhere in Venice you may want to go. The sunsets from the waterfront were gorgeous. The kitchen has anything you would need for basic meals, and we had a lot of fun shopping at the Rialto markets and trying our hand at Italian cooking at our home away from home. Communication was excellent and quick - from making the reservation, to finding out how to get into Venice, bus and boat times, and where to go. Unfortunately my plane was very delayed , which threw a wrench in our meet-up and we feel very badly about that, but they were gracious about it and we were grateful for their kindness and flexibility! We would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Venice!
