Location:
Sara’s place is in a charming area where many local Venetians live. It is relatively easy to get to it from the Sta. Lucia station; however, since the area is on the opposite side of where the station is, the water bus ride is about 40 minutes. The location is awesome though. Close enough to get to the landmarks, but it is quiet enough and very homey after a long day walking around. The restaurants in the area are outstanding too, and there is a local market nearby.
Space:
The space is very clean and spacious, enough room for two people. Bathroom has adequate space as well.
Amenities:
The AC blows cold! Just be patient after turning it on. Takes a couple of minutes to start blowing, but once it does, it blows cold. She provided all the basic amenities needed. There was a mishap about finding towels, and Sara immediately got us some.
Communication and Hospitality:
Sara was a great communicator and really hospitable. She gave us tips on where to go, and being local, she had great advice. She kindly gave us post it notes to take along. She responds quickly!
Overall, if we return toVenice, we would stay here. It is nice to retreat away from the crazy tourist areas. It is so nice to be able to interact where all the locals also retreat.
Thank you Sara!
