Michela's apartment is beautiful. It is a genuine old fashioned venetian apartment with all original features and necessary modern comforts. We fell in the love with the decor, and the charm of the property. Not only this, the apartment is next to a canal where boats pass daily and is very near to restaurants and cafes. We found the location very central - just 25 min walk to San Marco sq and the Rialto bridge. The transport links are good - boats to and from the airport can be found at a water bus stop only 12 min walk away, there is a pharmacy and supermarket within 10 min walk and generally everything you need. There is a square a 5min walk away with good restaurants and bars at fairly local prices. It is also near the area of Dorsoduro which is a bit more young/trendy.
