If you want to be near Rialto and all the action, this is the place for you! The bed is very comfortable, very nice modern bathroom, desk, window and AC. In case it matters, the apartment is right across a narrow passageway/alley (if you've been to Venice you know what I mean- it's a typical residential neighborhood "street") from a wine market/bar so you are likely to hear people having fun between 9-11:30pm but then it quiets down. It wasn't that bothersome to us as we stayed awake till midnight and it's the tradeoff for being so close to everything and not having to schlepp luggage a long ways.
Romy's wife Laura met us at the Rialto bridge when we got off the vaporetto and walked us 5 min. to the apartment. We had keys to get in and out and felt very safe.
