The apartment is very nice and in a great location. Everything that we wanted to see or do or eat was within walking distance. We really liked the apartment - it was very clean and was obviously being renovated or had just recently been. The wardrobe upstairs was great, the sheets were clean, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver, after walking around all day in the heat, as was the washing machine. The check in process was very smooth and Giovanna's son helped us and was very kind and polite. Giovanna is very attentive and has prepared a great guidebook which is in the apartment and she checks in with you regularly. Really liked the apartment overall and would definitely stay again - if the bugs in the bathroom were not an issue. They were only small flies, but they were so abundant that it made the bathroom feel gross. It would need to be cleaned daily. Other times of the year it is likely fine, but it was so hot and humid that the bugs are out in spades. (It should also be said that this was my first time in Venice, and it may be unpreventable.) That being said the rest of our experience was easily five stars and Giovanna and her son are both fantastic hosts.
