The apartment is in a great location! Within walking distance to everything - including some great restaurants. Laura is so flexible and hospitable - meeting us when we were lost, giving us recommendations of restaurants, providing us with sparking water and breakfast upon arrival! Negatives: the shower head has poor water pressure and takes a long time to get warm. Outside is quite noisy with rude people at all hours of the night - walking home, starting boat engines, etc. Due to mosquitoes and noise, the apartment became hot at night with windows closed. Long walk up 3 narrow flights of stairs with heavy suitcases. Once in the apartment, it is very comfortable and well located. Venice is beautiful and overall, a great experience.
