Sarah’s place was in a wonderful location! The neighborhood was not touristy at all, and was located right in the lively square of Santa Margherita. Lots of places to eat right near the apartment - I would recommend Fuori Rotti. 15 minutes away from the train station. Very easy walk, but if you have large suitcases I would recommend not walking to the apartment, because there are about 7 bridges or so with stairs that make walking with suitcases difficult. Instead, take the water bus - €7 (much cheaper than the water taxi - €80). Sarah was an awesome host, and was very responsive every time we messaged her with questions. She even mapped out a couple routes for us when we asked, which took out a lot of the confusion about getting around/using the public transport in Venice. The shower was a bit different than we are used to, as it is in the middle of the bathroom and got the toilet wet, but that was just a minor detail. We also had a little trouble locking and unlocking the door. It just seemed a bit tricky and was hard to get used to. Overall we had a great stay and appreciate everything that Sarah did for us!
