Staying at Sara and Giovanni's place really added to our Venice experience. It was in a good central location and was very cozy and cute. We got a little lost (as many do in Venice in general) trying to find it and Giovanni was extremely patient and helpful at guiding us in. There are a lot of stairs which I didn't mind, but it could be difficult if you have a lot of luggage, bad knees, or small children that you may have to carry. We only stayed one night in Venice but if we go back we will definitely stay there again.
