There is a difference between apartments that are directly managed by the owners and those that are surrogated to someone else. Here, you meet the owner and that makes a whole difference.
The apartment is carefully appointed, by someone who cares and understand that the little details matter, like having space in the bathroom to put your toiletries, the kitchen that basically has everything you might need, and enough space to hang and store your clothes. It even has an iron, iron board and a washing machine.
The bathroom is renovated, and the kitchen looks new. The place is very clean, and is quiet during the evenings. Air/Con works well... it takes its time to cool the place, but it works.
It is centrally located, close to the beautiful Church of the Miracles, in the middle between the Rialto Bridge and San Marco. Supermarkets and restaurants are nearby.
The building has an elevator, but you still need to climb one level. The views are a bit limited, as you see the rooftops of other buildings and a part of a canal, but most likely you will be walking around Venice anyway.
The communication with the host was excellent and without hassle.
