We were very pleased with our stay here the last week of October. We had no trouble finding the apartments, since we got good directions from Giovanni, and a warm welcome from Fatima, who spacious, attractive, and comfortable. The kitchen had everything showed us everything we needed to know. The apartment is we needed (although we used it only for breakfast). Internet service was fast and easy to access. The views over Venice and the Grand Canal are amazing: from the 7th and 8th floor, it seems like one is on top of the world, looking down on a Canaletto cityscape. The location was perfect, just across the bridge from the Accademia gallery and vaparetto stop, five minutes from San Samuele and San Angelo stops; therefore, away from the crowds of San Marco yet centrally located for walking to any part of Venice (except, of course, Giudecca or the Lido or the outer islands), and close to public transportation, too.
Don't worry about the climbs from the 4th to the 7th and 8th floors--if you can handle all the bridges in Venice, these last few flights won't bother you. Having a bathroom on both floors is a real convenience, as the toilet on the 8th floor is a bit difficult to flush.
