We loved staying at this beautiful and wonderfully cozy apartment steps away from the Rialto Market. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Venice. By American standards, the bed was firm as were the pillows, which is the norm in Italy (and most of Europe). Note that we were there during a heat wave and the AC works quite well, however, it is in the dining area. Without a fan, the bedroom does get a few degrees warmer than the rest of the apartment. We found that by closing the kitchen doors and the doors that lead to the entryway, our room was able to stay quite comfortable. Also note, that if the apartment above has guests, you can hear them walking around quite easily -- but that didn't bother us very much. All in all we highly recommend staying at this lovely apartment that truly has it all!
