As many other said this is a wonderful place. It does feel like staying at someone's place. The location is wonderful because it is not extremely touristy and not just residential either. The place is very quiet. It overlooks a small canal but the Gran Canal is just few steps away as well as nice museums. Also the train station is reachable within minutes. We had a wonderful time. Beware of mosquitos: you may want to refresh the air in the morning hours and close everything after that. The apartment has a small kitchen which is well equipped, nice hot water shower in a modern bathroom with good water pressure and a comfy bed. Benedetta picked us up the first day, showed the way to the home and gave us good advice about what to do and where to go in Venice. She is a super host!
