Sara and her husband were great hosts. They were very accommodating for our evening check-in which we also had to delay by 30 minutes due to a delayed flight. We were met at the vaporetto stop and walked to the apartment.
The apartment location was fantastic because it was near the city center, making it easy to wander every neighborhood and be within a short walk from the apartment if we needed to get something or rest. But, beware, during the day and early evening the area is swamped with tourists (many day-trippers) because it is between San Marco and Rialto. This isn't really a negative, it just makes it hard to quickly walk to/from the apartment because the streets are very narrow and the crowds are dense.
The apartment itself was nice and had most, but not all, the necessities. It was a enough space for a few night's stay. We did one load of laundry and had to get a little creative when finding places to hang-dry our clothes. The mattress was "okay", at best, in terms of comfort... perhaps on par with a budget hotel. That is probably my biggest complaint for what was still a good stay.
