Pretty much as described. Clean, renovated but had charming exposed wood panels, away from the busy tourist areas. The only downside is that you can hear EVERYTHING in the alley down below from the entire flat. There was a group of teenagers hanging out at one point during our stay- you could even hear the person on the phone they were speaking to clearly (and they weren't on speaker.) Singing drunks and other people passing through were also waking me up throughout the night, but my boyfriend mostly slept alright. If you're a light sleeper and can't wear earplugs, I'd keep this in mind. However everything else about the place was great and Anna made sure to give us all the details we needed for our stay. Definitely not a bad place to stay in Venice at all, light sleepers just might want to be prepared.
