The flat is not cheap, yet its value for money is higher than average for Venetian standards. It has more or less everything you will need for a short stay, including a reasonably well-equipped kitchen - an essential item in your checklist, when you visit a town where every restaurant is absurdly expensive.
The flat is located on the ground floor in a narrow, quiet backstreet just a few steps apart from the horribly crowded path that links the main station with San Marco; once you turn into the backstreet, you will find the real Venice and forget the mass.
Though: given how narrow the backstreet is, it is no surprise the flat is hardly reached by the sun; in fact, it is always very dark, you cannot even prepare a coffee in the morning without turning on the electric lights (I was in venice in June in rather sunny days). To be honest, this was not a major problem after all, since you definitely don't travel to Venice to spend a lot of time at home complaining about the lack of sun in your flat...
The host was very kind to us, they helped us with the luggage, were helpful and pleasantly talkative and even gave a present to my daughter.
