The apartment main rooms are gorgeous, clearly someone’s (former) home. You check in a hotel front desk across from the private apartment entrance and are escorted to the apartment. There was bottled water in the fridge and some coffee packets, as well as a few packages for the first morning breakfast - all appreciated. As instructed, I requested a hair dryer at check in, and one was provided. We loved staying in this apartment and found the location great for seeing Venice.
