Charming apartment in a great location. Smooth communication and check-in with Francesco. Beautiful gated courtyard as you enter. My family loved watching the gondolas go by... right next to the bedroom and family room windows. Tourists take photos of the canal from the nearby bridge, so that tells you how pretty it is. Even though the location was convenient, it was surprisingly quiet at night even with the windows open. Everyone slept well. Note that there is no AC. However, we all thought it was comfortable with the open windows and the provided fan during our early June visit.
Tip: I went to the water taxi stand across the Grand Canal (short walk from the apartment over the nearly bridge) on the morning of our flight and asked them to pick us up at Campo San Simeon Grando to take us to the airport (the square next to the apartment borders the Grand Canal). There is a hotel on the square next to the Grand Canal so if you tell them to pick you up next to the hotel, it makes it clear where you want to be picked up. It was very convenient since we didn't have to walk far with our heavy luggage (about 50m from the apartment, with no stairs). Walking with luggage can be challenging in Venice with the number of bridges/stairs/people. In my opinion, the water taxi cost (130 euro for 2 people and luggage) is worth it because it is reliably about 25-30 minutes to the airport and a nice, and less stressful, way to end your stay in Venice. Cheaper alternatives are the water bus which may be full (not recommended according to other reviews) or the nearby bus station - about a 10 minute walk with bridges/stairs along the way - then add (unknown, to me) bus wait time and travel time.
