This was my 1st time using air BnB, originally I had booked a hotel in Venice historic centre, which was very expensive, but my uncle told me to check air bnb. I was immediately drawn to Casa Sara and booked it. From the minute I booked it I was in communication with the host Lia and her daughter Sara(more so Sara as Lia doesn't speak English, but Sara communicated on her behalf). Wonderful people! Prior to my trip they were a text away to answer any questions I had. It is on the outskirts on Venice off the main island. Sara sent directions that were 100% acccurate which made getting around no problem! Venice historic centre is a 1 min walk to a bus which is in Venice(Piazalle Roma) in 10 mins. On arrival Lia greeted us and despite the language barrier was so so lovely and helpful! There is a folder on the table with all information (transport, food, shops, different aspects of the house e.g. Air con and how to use it). It is so detailed and contains all necessary information.It was Late so she helped us to order a pizza! :) Unfortunately Sara was away in Germany when we stayed but still contacted us to make sure our trip was going ok and to answer any questions, she is a wonderful person so kind . The house was beautiful, immaculately clean and cosy, they even left loads of snacks for us and shampoo etc, really comfortable bed. On our last day they allowed us a late check out to the time we were leaving for the airport. I would highly recommended Casa Sara, it felt like visiting friends in Venice as they are amazing friendly helpful people! We also saved a significant amount of money to get a beautiful entire home! Even though it isnt in central Venice, the transport system is amazing and on time, you will be in the historic centre in no time. Grazie mille again to Sara Lia and their dad who was there to help check us out, we will definitely be back! :) Venice is a wonderful place and is the experience of a lifetime.<3
