Lara and her husband were the perfect hosts. This was our first trip to Italy, and they answered every question promptly, and gave us all the tips we needed to make our trip worthwhile. This is a great place to stay, since it is just a quick "one stop away" bus ride into the heart of Venice. It's a beautiful place with all the amenities you need. They did a great job of giving us all the little touches and creature comforts to make us feel at home. They were also very flexible in meeting us very late for our check in - as we didn't get into Venice until close to midnight.
