We had a great time in Venice. The apartment had everything we needed. It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood, yet only a couple minutes walk from the vaporetto station and 5 minutes from Saint Mark's. So you can get anywhere really easily. You can look out the window down to the street and see a canal and people going about their business. The kitchen had Bodum coffee maker, kettle and plates - everything we needed. It was September and fairly hot, but with the windows open at night it was enough ventilation to sleep comfortably. Overall the apartment is full of light with lovely wooden floors. Perfect for a couple who want to spend most of their time exploring.
Ginevra gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and how to find the supermarket. Communication with her was easy using WhatsApp (I just had a SIM for Europe with a data plan, no phone service).
Note, it's up 3 flights of stairs (no lift) and there are 3 separate locks/keys to get in. Also, the bathroom is "quirky" - entrance is through the main bedroom through a very short door and the shower fitting wasn't high enough. But these things don't matter to me, compared to having your own place with space to live in a great city like Venice. I would definitely come back here again.
