Sarah's flat is charming but basic accommodation & expensive for what it is. I paid $755 AUS for 2 nights & an early check in and I did not think it was value for money. The flat is in a great location however, just around the corner & a few minutes walk from trendy Abbott Kinney with its great cafes and shops and its a quiet residential area. The Uber and taxi drivers found it difficult to find, I don't know why. The main issue is the plumbing. The pipes are noisy & back up every 20 minutes, all day & night. I'm not sure why no one has mentioned this in any previous reviews. I thought the bed linen could do with updating. I used Sarah's bike which was in good condition but does not have any gears & has back pedal brakes (I haven't ridden a bike like this since I was 12 years old) but it seems all bikes in Venice are the same. There is a great huge organic grocer about a 10 minute walk away, well worth visiting............. Unfortunately I couldn't have a cup of tea on arrival, after a 15 hour flight, as there were no tea bags. Otherwise, Sarah was good at responding & communicating and checked in to see if I was ok which I appreciated
