The apartment is lovely and well furnished. It is located just outside of downtown Venice, so you will need to take a bus. There are 1 flight of stairs. The host was good about giving local tips and explaining the workings of the appartment. There is a steap penalty fee for not informing the host about your arrival time the day of by 3 PM. For every hour past 3 PM that they must wait for you, it will cost 10 euros. The host was kind enough to waive the fee, but it seems like an unrealistic expectation for international travelers who have multiple flights (mine totalling 36 hours) and spotty wifi service to communicate with. They require you take out the trash the last day, which is a hassle since the dumpsters are key access only. So, you will need to make a separate trip to take the trash out to the end of the block before leaving. It was a nice enough location and facility, but I probably will not return due to the extra fees and overtly business-like feel of the welcome (felt more like banking than Air B&B).
