I spent a whole month in this lovely appartament and I couldn't be more satisfied with the place, the location, the services and the hospitality I found here :) Laura, her housband and their cooperators did their best from the get go to make me feel welcome and thanks to them I got the most of out of this wonderful city! Kindness, availability and professionality are a must for the hosts and I appreciated every interactions I had with them.
The house was sparkling clean when I moved in and on top of that an extra cleaning service was provided during my stay, which was a pleasant surprise to me! The apartment is bright and cozy, and all the interiors/ furnitures perfectly matched the photos/ descriptions provide through the Airbnb website.
I have been in Venice for quite some time and at the end I'm leaving with the impression that Laura's place is likely one of the best spots you'd find to enjoy and explore the city. Dorsoduro is one of the most ancient and historical districts of Venice and even though you are just 15 minutes away from Rialto bridge and San Marco square, the highlights of the city, you won't get a sense of being overwhelmed by a crowd of tourists (which believe me is something quite unique here!). Right next to the house there's a lovely square as well, Campo Santa Margherita, where locals and students are used to meeting on their days off; there are a plenty of bars and restaurants (don't forget to give a try to "Spritz", one of the most popular cocktails here!) and I personally enjoyed the opportunity to buy fresh fish/ vegetables/ flowers at the markets here on a daily basis.
What else should I say? Oh, yes, if you are into arts, you are just at a walking distance from some of the most valuable museums in Venice: Gallerie dell'Accademia and Guggenheim Museum. Plus, if you are into steet arts, you can't miss to check out a Banksy graffiti right next to the corner of the house, which is truly a hidden gem!
