We had a great time staying at Sarah's and 'living like locals' in Venice. The location is great and the apartment had everything we needed including fast internet, a kitchen and separate lounge. Check in was easy and clear and it was convenient being able to use the washer and dryer. If you were going to stay there for a long time and be home a lot then it's pretty small, but it's far bigger than a hotel for comparable money. We particularly enjoyed cruising around on the bikes provided. Sarah was super nice and gave us great tips the time we saw here. Would stay again if in the area.
