We (a family of 6 adults) had a fantastic 2 night stay in Paolo's apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed (including a little coffee maker), and the dining area made for a really nice place to sit and relax in the evenings. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable, and the apartment was kept a really nice temperature - important when it was so hot outside! We managed okay with the one bathroom and two of us on the sofa bed, but it's worth bearing in mind if there's a group of 6 of you that it's 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (though this is of course clear in the listing) - fine if you're close, otherwise maybe a little difficult. Location-wise we found it really good - nice and quiet, easily accessible from the airport, and with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and a good bakery next door. We spent one day exploring Venice, and all the key tourist attractions were easily within walking distance despite the apartment not being super central.
A few tips for fellow tourists - take mosquito spray, a few of us got a little bitten when sat at the dining table in the evenings. Pizzeria da Zorma around the corner does really tasty and cheap takeaway pizzas - those, coupled with wine from A La Virtu on the corner equals a great night in! If you like beer, there's a great bar called Il Santo Bevitore a 10 minute walk away, with lots of choice and nice quiet, outside seating.
