The apartment was exactly as expected - it is in a very central, convenient location and the view of all the surrounding rooftops from the apartment windows is stunning. Only toilet paper was provided, so we did have to buy our own hand soap, etc. Just a reminder/warning to any guests staying in Venice in summer to bring mosquito repellant as there are quite a few! We also noticed that there is a man in an apartment across the way from the kitchen/dining area who seemed to often be walking around naked in the dark and looking into the apartment - it didn't bother us at all as we saw the humorous side, but just a general heads-up to steer clear of the windows when getting dressed, etc. Other than these things that are no reflection on the host or the property, we had a lovely stay in Venice and the apartment was well-suited for our needs.
