Sarah was in communication about dates and times and train arrivals and made sure to be home for us when we arrived. Her place is a little tricky to find from the train, but then you realize that Venice is just a little tricky. It's in a very convenient location to the train station (probably a 10 minute walk if you know where you're going) and easy to get to the vaporettos that will take you nearly anywhere you want to go. No wifi, and no lock on the bedroom door, but we felt safe and enjoyed a break from the internet. Sarah gave us some great recommendations of things to do off the beaten path and some amazing places to eat.
