Agree with the reviews - this place is a great location, only a few minutes walk to San Marco sqaure, the Fondaco dai Tedeschi shopping mall (rooftop terrace is a must - although book online before you go) and the Rialto station - can get here by waterbus taxi from the airport or train station if you are visiting from another city.
Keep in mind there are stairs over the canals to carry luggage over to get to the apartment, and once inside the apartment building there is a very narrow and steep 2 flights of stairs to the front door.
Apartment is smaller than expected but beautiful, and shower is very different - I liked it a lot.
Kitchen does not have a microwave yet has all other kitchen needs. 1 pasta sauce bottle was provided so we cooked pasta with ingredients purchased from the supermarket only a 1 minute walk from the apartment.
Leone was very nice and since he couldn't personally meet us at check in, he sent one of his friends who was very nice and showed us everything we needed to know :) both were super patient as well due to many flight delays etc... but Leone's friend waited for us to meet at check in and show us the place.
Overall really enjoyed our stay, good price and this really is the best area to stay in in Venice, you definitely want to be on this side of the city. Felt safe and lots of nice restaurants, shops and places to book tours/gondola rides all at your doorstep.
Would have been a perfect stay if free wifi was provided! But other than that was great.. thank you Leone.
