Paola is an amazing host! The apartment is exactly as described. The only advice I would give is that it if you are a big/tall person (such as myself), you may find it too small. The ceilings are maybe 7 feet and I could not stretch or lift arms up. Other than that, it was exactly what I wanted. 8 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and Vaporetto stop! Neighborhood had great choices for food!
