The apartment was as described, except for the lack of a bathtub which has now been replaced by a shower.
The apartment is very spacious, comfortable and individually furnished and has a beautiful view of the Guidecca Canal from the bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped and offers everything you need to cook for yourself.
We didn't use the beautiful garden at all, but it's definitely a great retreat from the midday heat in summer.
Possibly important for people with small children or those with walking difficulties: Access to the apartment is via a staircase, to the garden via a spiral staircase.
Various cafés, bars, restaurants, small grocery stores and a coop supermarket can be found within walking distance. Communication with Paolo was very friendly and uncomplicated, as was check-in and check-out.
All in all: We can recommend the apartment for families with up to two children (who can safely climb stairs).
