Once we were able to locate the apartment, we couldn't have been happier. the view is probably the best in the city! We stayed here in May. Since the sun sets against the apartment's windows and balcony, it gets very warm in the afternoon. It wasn't an issue though since they have air conditioning. The apartment is very large. The furnishings are eclectic and decor likely straight out of the 60s, but it was very clean and had everything we needed. The apartment is very close to the Rialto vaporetto stop (hallway is right next to Burger King). Our host met us at the gate. when we were lost and we reached out for help and she simply stated follow the map. if you've ever been to Venice, you know that is almost impossible, especially for a first timer. I recommend asking the host to meet you near the vaporetto stop instead. They want you to do a lot of the cleaning when you leave including removing all garbage. I figure that is what the cleaning fee should include. The bed was comfy. The water heater must be small as it runs out of hot water fast. All in all. I'd say this is a great apartment and would definitely rent here again.
