We would recommend this place in Venice if you are looking for something self contained and authentic. It is in a great location away from the tourist crowds, but still close to some good restaurants and bars. It is easy walking to public transport, however, like everywhere in Venice it is not always easy with a suitcase. The place is exactly as shown in the photos - so what you see there is what you will get.
Communication was excellent. We were met at the apartment on check, which went very smoothly and we were provided with some great tips. Very nice people.
We were in Venice during the peak of summer and as a result the apartment was a little warm, although window shutters could be opened and fans were provided in the bedroom and living/2nd bedroom area.
Overall a great place to enjoy Venice from.
