The apartment is clean and spacious. We were there at the beginning of June and didn't have need for air conditioning. The apartment was cool at night. We loved the qiuiet neighborhood, off the beaten path, and yet within easy walking to Rialto, San Marco, and the vaporetto stop. There is a grocery store within a five minute walk of the apartment. But, best of all, there was a walled garden in which we enjoyed some wine and cheese after some long days of seeing the sights of Venice and the islands. The photos are accurate and Francesco is a very friendly and helpful host. He met us at the vaporetto and met us at the apartment at the end of our stay as well. The kitchen was well supplied with plates/utensils and laundry equipment. If you want a comfy stay away from the crowds, this is a delightful place!
