We had an unfortunate stay -- probably bad luck given the other reviews. The place is very well located -- in a less touristy and beautiful neighborhood. And the apartment itself is nice. However, we had a number of problems. One is that there were many mosquitoes -- maybe this is true of all Venice, but we got bit quite a lot and had to kill many mosquitoes. Second, the electricity went out one night (stormy night), but they were nice enough to move us apartments as they were not able to fix it. That was fine. But then there was another technical malfunction with the apartment -- the windows (controlled electronically) wouldn't close and the hosts were never able to resolve the issue -- so for two nights we had to sleep with the windows open (the first night they were totally open; the second night they automatically closed because it was raining, but the blinds didn't, so we had a lot of sun in our eyes as the windows are in the ceiling). What surprised me is that no solution was provided whatsoever. A shame, because the apt and surroundings are great.
