Staying at Laura's apartment feels like actually becoming a Venetian for your trip. It's very authentic, in a convenient location (not in a busy place, but still close enough to all the major routes and canals).
Laura is a great host – she has taken care of every little detail in the apartment (even an ointment for mosquito bites) and has prepared instructions so there's nothing to misunderstand. It really feels like you're staying in a family home (but with your own privacy). And of course there's the canal right outside your window!
Everything was sparkling clean, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
