Tokuro was a great host and his apartment is in an excellent location between the Rialto bridge and St. Mark's square. The space was quite large (surprisingly so for Venice, I would think), clean, and recently updated. Tokuro was friendly and very easy to communicate with.
However, I'm afraid that we found Tokuro's place to be lacking in both coziness and comfort. There were 2 beds in the large bedroom area but the larger of the 2 is not a king/queen bed but rather 2 twins pushed together. The mattresses were not secured together either so a crack developed between them as we slept. The chairs and couch/sofa were all very uncomfortable and the layout of the space did little to make us feel at home especially since the wifi does not reach to the bedroom. The bathroom is large but the shower is small and was inconsistent in its ability to deliver hot water. "Sterile" is a word that I think applies here as it feels as though no one has ever lived in the space. One final ding is that the entrance area smelled strongly of urinal cakes while we were there which was briefly unpleasant every time you enter or exit the building. The apartment itself was not at all unpleasant smelling.
If you can look past all of that, I think this place is a good value as the location is really fantastic. We found it easy to walk to many areas of the city and even found our way back through the maze of Venice's streets without much trouble.
