Clean place and a very kind host with plenty of recommendations. I will admit, for a first time traveler it was very unintuitive to get to Venice proper, this apartment is not in Venice-Venice that tourists think of, it's in the Mestre which is like the Venetian suburbs. There's not a ton there in walking distance or food wise, and if you want to get into Venice, go down the street, hang a right, walk to the convenience store with a bit blue T outside (ticket symbol) and get a tram ticket into Venice then go back to the tram stop and board and it's about a 20 minute ride from Venice. Once you're off the tram it's a 30 minute walk to St. Mark's. So yes, the listing is far from St. Mark's square but if you already know that it's a non issue. On top of that it's very clean, secure (roll down shutters and heavy door plus a several floors up), and right next to a tram ticket seller and tram station. Plus the host was super attentive.
