Davide provided clear instructions and helpful information prior to our trip which made finding and accessing the apartment very straightforward. It is very well located, (not that much is too far from everything in Venice) with many, many nearby restaurants, bars and ferry stops. Having said that the apartment is astonishingly quiet - even the lightest of sleepers will have no noise problems. The photos were representative of the apartment which was clean and well presented although the view of the canal is only possible by leaning right out of the window. The bathroom is very compact and functional but I did note that the shower screen intrudes into the shower space as it opens and closes and could be a tight squeeze for those on the larger side. The apartment is richly furnished with tv and a selection of books and it would be an excellent spot for a winter break as it feels very cosy. We appreciated the Venice city guides in a number of languages and the sound system with cd's in the main bedroom. The internet access device was broken during our stay. The only downside for me was that access to the apartment was via a real estate agent which included the need to sign a short term contract on arrival. This required us to sign up to the included inventory list in a situation where checking everything on it was neither practical nor desirable which wasn't ideal for us, however the apartment itself and dealings with Davide were all great.
