When we arrived, our host kindly picked us up at the Saint Mark's Square (which is only a few steps from the apartment) and helped us with the luggage. The check in and check out was pleasantly quick and uncomplicated. They had prepared everything for our arrival, even including some cold water bottles in the fridge, and they were very responsive and nice when we had some questions later. The apartment is on the fourth floor (there's no elevator, so we had a nice short workout every day ;-), it's cozy and very beautifully furnished. When we didn't eat out, we found everything needed to cook for ourselves, which we really liked. We had a great time, and if we come back to the lovely city of Venice, we wouldn't mind booking again.
