My wife and I stayed in Antonio's apartment for 4 weeks in April 2022 and loved the experience. Antonio is a superb host: punctual, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to address even the smallest issue. The apartment was exactly like pictured in the photos: spacious, clean, attractive, and equipped with everything you'll need for a stay of any duration. There is even a separate laundry room with a large washer (which looked like a recent model and was in perfect condition) and plenty of space to dry your clothes. Since there were just the two of us, we did not use the second bathroom downstairs, but it would be a nice option for a larger party.
When we arrived, Antonio gave us a thorough overview of the apartment and gave excellent advice on public transit and restaurants. We could not be happier with his responsiveness and willingness to share his knowledge of Venice.
Cannaregio -- the part of town where the apartment is located -- is a great neighborhood with interesting history and a relaxed, friendly vibe. If we were to live in Venice, this is probably where we'd look first for an apartment. There are several excellent supermarkets and greengrocers' stands within 1-3 minutes of walking from Antonio's flat, as well as numerous shops, bars, ice cream shops, etc. The closest vaporetto (waterbus) stop on the Grand Canal is no more than a 2-3-minute walk away, and one can walk to the train station in 10 minutes. A 15-minute walk in the opposite direction gets you to Rialto bridge. And, like the rest of Venice, the neighborhood feels very safe any time of the day or night.
In short, Antonio's apartment is a perfect base from which to explore Venice. The only potential complicating factor you may want to consider (depending on the size of your group) is that the larger bedroom's windows face a street that can get a little noisy in the evening, when customers from a restaurant on the ground floor of the building spill onto the street. There is no shouting or fighting, of course -- just some locals and tourists having lively conversations and laughing -- but if you are a light sleeper and prefer to go to bed earlier than midnight or 1 a.m., these sounds of city life may prevent you from falling or staying asleep. My wife was not bothered by the noise, but I did notice it when we first arrived. Our solution was to move to the smaller bedroom, which has two beds that can be easily pushed together. That room faces a quiet alley, and once we moved there, I did not hear any noise from the other street. If you go to bed before 1 am and suspect that the sounds of people's talking and laughing may interfere with your sleep, I suggest telling Antonio that you'd like to use the smaller bedroom and specify whether you'd like the two beds to be pushed together. If you have a group of more than two people, those who go to sleep late or don't mind some city noise late in the evening should probably get the larger bedroom.
