Like most places in Venice, the apartment is small. Not uncomfortable, but not a place where you'd want to do much other than sleep and shower. However, it was in a decent location, which counts for a lot in Venice. We had some problems figuring out how to get the hot water going, but Matteo and Luisa responded very quickly to help solve our misunderstanding. They were excellent hosts. One small disappointment was the low water pressure which made for a less than wonderful showering experience - but this may be common problem in Venice. It would have been a much better place with wifi. Even the phone reception was patchy at best. But we still had a really nice time in Venice. One doesn't go there to sit in the apartment, in any case.

We have been to Venice before and there are plenty of hotels that cost more and offer a lot less. It was what it said it was.

The lack of wifi was a drawback. These days it's how one tends to find out about a city. In this case you will need to do this before arriving. Even 3G phone reception is non-existent.
