Sandra was a really great host and we really enjoyed our stay in Venice. We arrived late in the night (9:30pm) and Sandra met us at the Rialto Bridge and took us to her apartment. The pictures really don't do the place justice - Sandra's place is bright, airy and very open. Sandra spent 30 min with us, walking us through all the parts of Venice and answering all of our questions. She even offered to make reservations at a restaurant for my birthday dinner! She also stocked the kitchen with fruits, bread, milk, Italian coffee, and juice so that we could have breakfast every morning and get on with long day of sightseeing! Though Venice streets and alleys may look tricky, we had no problem finding the apartment. There are 3 flights of stairs to the apartment, however, so keep that in mind, when packing! Overall, we had a lovely stay at Sandra's place, and we thank her for her hospitality!
