The best thing about this apartment is the location for me. The street was a quiet non tourist location with plenty of bars and restaurants. It felt as if you were experiencing the real venice away from all the busy tourist areas. San Marco and rialto are about a 25 minute walk and the water bus is only a few minutes walk from the apartment. Communication from host was excellent. My only disappointment was that the photos do not represent the apartment that well. I thought we were going to a modern fresh space but in real life it is not that pretty and maybe needs some attention. Everything you need is here amenities are good but it's a very basic looking place.
