This apt is very charming. The living/eating space was light, quiet, and filled with comfortable seating and attractive antiques, the large garden terrace was welcome, and the kitchen was relatively well stocked for cooking. The 2 bathrooms are attractive and modern, and the beds are comfortable. There's a good grocery store around the corner and easy access to the vaporetto and train station.
HOWEVER, noise was a huge issue for the people who slept in the largest of the three bedrooms (w/3 beds), so large groups beware! While advertised as in a quiet area and off the beaten path, this apt is actually on a *major* thoroughfare from the train station to the center of the city, so those sleeping in the largest bedroom on the front of the house hear voices and rolling luggage constantly. Closed windows and shutters made no difference. My friends had to move into other rooms (the living room and double-up in the queen bedroom on the 3rd floor) in order to sleep.
Also, hot water was scarce. We (4 friends) made a point of not taking showers at the same time but water was still just warm and there was no water pressure elsewhere when one person showered, including no hot water in the kitchen. The shower on the 3rd floor flooded the bathroom one day as well. (Perhaps hot water is hard to come by in old buildings in Venice but it was still disappointing.)
Beware, there is no wifi which, while clear on the listing in retrospect, was still a surprise, since all other Airbnb listings in Venice have Wifi.
Finally, the apt was lacking basic amenities like trash bags, soap, extra lighters/matches to light the stove, extra toilet paper. So come prepared.
