Laura was a great hostess, prompt in responding and very helpful and accommodating ( especially when our arriving flight was delayed 5 1/2 hours.) The apartment had everything one could need - was spotless and comfortable. It was in a great location ( away from the crowds), easy to get to and quiet (at least in December!) Laura put together a very complete binder of information, sights, suggestions, and tips to guide her guests, which was very helpful and thoughtful. The bed was very comfortable. The all-in-one washer/dryer worked well. The kitchen was well equipped. WiFi worked great. We found Laura's personal connection to the apartment, having belonged to her mom, and the fact that Laura and her family also live in the building, reassuring.
Venice is a magical place and we had a lovely 6 day stay. Off season is a great time to visit!
