The apartment is beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. The pictures accurately depict the interior of the residence. There is half a flight of stairs to climb with your luggage. The building exterior and the inside building common area is grungy and have not been updated. However, once you’re inside the apartment, it is fully renovated. We enjoyed staying in a neighborhood fairly centrally located. We found our way around quickly after a couple of days. Finding the apartment for check in was a challenge for us. I recommend you review details in advance and get landmarks in the event you get lost. Cellular service and g-maps not always accurate and reliable in Venice.
