We really enjoyed our stay at Lauren's apartment in Venice. The location is great - just a few footsteps from the canals and the same from the beach.
The apartment was clean and much bigger than we expected and we could easily stay 5 persons. Having access to a lot of kitchen utensils, we were able to do our own breakfast and also dinner. We actually didn't use the patio/garden, but it was primarily because we rather wanted to go down to the beach in the mornings.
We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone else going to Venice!
