Me and my girlfriend recently stayed at Laura's apartment in Venice. It was in a great location close to the Rialto bridge.
Upon arrival in Venice we were met by her friend Luca who walked us to the apartment. He was very friendly (and luckily spoke English!). He showed us around the apartment and then talked us through a map of Venice highlighting the best places to visit.
The apartment was lovely and spacious with a large lounge/kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and 2 balconies.
We had a really great time here and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a base in Venice.
