Lia and Sara were great hosts! Venice was our first stop in Italy and Sara and Lia made sure we were comfortable and knew how to get around. Sara had a big book of information for guests with maps and restaurant recommendations ready to go. They even had little cake pastries for us when we arrived. The apartment itself was perfect, kitchen, bathroom, washer and the best part was the AC. We felt like we were in heaven after a long hot day in Venice. The location is outside of Venice just as described. The bus took us about 15-20 minutes. The apartment wasn't too far from the bus stop but the streets are very dark at night, I am glad I had my husband with me because I wouldn't want to walk alone at night. Overall, it was a great experience. Oh I forgot to mention that I had to print a museum voucher and Sara was so nice to let me in her home (on the other side of the apartment) to print it out. She was available to answer our questions the entire time. I would highly recommend!
