Sandra is such a thoughtful host and gave us such wonderful attention when we first got to venice. She gave great recommendations for restaurants as well as areas to explore.

The apartment was much bigger than we expected and extremely clean. Air conditioning worked well enough for the bedroom and living room. The sofa bed was really comfortable for my sister and I (my dad took the bedroom). The food in the kitchen was a nice touch for a simple breakfast. The location is quite central and we got everywhere we needed and wanted to be just as easily as if we stayed at a hotel in San Marco or something. I'd definitely stay here again.

Some things to note: the shower seemed fickle and was harder to operate than we thought...the first time anyway. There was construction outside on the block that started well before9am. Not sure how long that will last so that is something to consider for a longer stay (we were only there two nights). There are a couple flights of stairs to conquer..so with big pieces of luggage just be prepared.

Overall great place and lovely host!
