We had a lovely time at Sandra's place. Sandra was very responsive when making arrangements leading up to the trip, and though she wasn't there to meet us when we got there, her associate who led us to the apartment from the water bus stop was very friendly, informative, and accommodating. It's in an unbeatable location in a very quiet neighborhood (with a grocery store just around the corner), but just a few minutes each from Rialto and San Marco. The kitchen and appliances are a bit dated, but it came stocked with milk, butter, yogurt, cereal, and other breakfast essentials, and we ate out for our other meals, so there wasn't much need to cook. The apartment itself is a good size; as a family of four (with two very young children), we were very comfortable. And as others have mentioned, the stairs are a bit cumbersome, but it's definitely worth the hike for the view and abundant natural light. Overall a great value.
