Sara's apartment was centrally located in Venice close enough to the Rialto bridge for easy ferry access but far enough away from the crowded streets and the main touristy area.
Giovanni was very helpful and made lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink, and noted everything on a map for us.
There are quite a few stairs to get up to the apartment, but it's good exercise and the view from the top floor is very beautiful.
The one downside is that even though there is a fan in the bedroom, it stayed quite hot during the night and my boyfriend and I found it difficult to sleep with the mosquito net around the bed. However, we're used to sleeping in a cold room so I'm sure most people would be completely fine.
Thank you for a lovely stay in Venice!
