The hostess was very helpful and friendly. The place was great, some things that we particularly liked:
1) It's top floor, so nobody above you + cathedral ceilings
2) Windows the entire length of the apartment with a canal view (look out and down and there is water)
3) Quiet part of town, so during the night it's very serene
4) Very centrally located — can walk literally anywhere in Venice
Would definitely stay here again
