My wife and I recently enjoyed 3 nights at Sara’s apartment. The home is exactly as described, and was a nice break from climbing stairs in Florence and Cinque Terre. Loved seeing the gondolas and other boats cruise past the windows! We didn’t meet Sara, but her mother-in-law met us right at the train station for a smooth check-in. Sara was constantly in contact with us and quick to reply during our stay which was very nice because she provided an amazing seafood risotto recommendation for our last night in Venice! Location was also good for Rialto and other main sites, as well as near to the Alilaguna boat (and others) to the airport for an early morning flight. The bathroom was the only part of the apartment which wasn't ideal. Shower is small, and there were problems with water temperature and pressure. However, Sara was in contact with us right away after mentioning the issue. She offered to come look at it, but our stay was short and we specifically told her she didn't need to. We appreciated the offer and her concern, and would recommend staying at Sara's house when in beautiful Venice!
