Our trip to Venice was great and thanks to Sara's place! Although we didn't meet Sara, her friend helped us with the water taxi routes and met us at the taxi stop. The location was great- it was in a quiet neighborhood that was safe, but it was also a few minute walk to a busier street with plenty of food options. There is a binder with locations of important businesses, too (like grocery stores, restaurants). The main attractions (the grand canal, St. Mark's Square, etc.) are just a 10 min. walk from the apartment. However, if you need unlimited wifi and like your showers a constant temperature, then you might not like this place as much as we did. The view of a canal right outside your window is pretty hard to beat!
