Laura's place is beyond the perfect place to stay in when in Venice! Our family of 4 was more than comfortable in this beautiful apartment in the best location. The apartment is in a 16th century building but has great air conditioning and the essential modern needs. Shops, the best restaurants, and local gondola rides are a walk away from the apartment but it stays quiet and very peaceful during the day and night. We got to enjoy our breakfast every morning while listening to pleasant violin tunes from a nearby apartment. It overlooks a small side canal and there are people stoping by right outside our building door to take stunning pictures. The hosts were very helpful and gave the best recommendations (our best dinner). If you are visiting Venice, you have to stay here!!
