The apartment is an excellent location & for Venice where space is a premium it is large, well equipped to self cater, is well air conditioned, has a very comfortable bed & double sofa bed & has superb views & lovely character. It also feels safe & fairly quiet for such a central location & is walking distance (10 mins) to many water bus stops, main sites, many bars & restaurants, shops & transport to islands in the lagoon.
The balcony is great to have but should be fully repaired as it's quite dangerous in current state, very difficult to access & has a few cheap chairs that can only sit 2 people really. It is not possible to eat or drink up there comfortably. Lovely though to climb up & soak up the wonderful roof top views for short times.
We only met Mimi. She appeared to host us & was lovely and welcoming & helpful & met us from the nearest water bus stop which is essential as this is a difficult city to navigate around.
Staying here definitely enhanced our experience of This beautiful city. I would recommend staying here & would love to return.
