The apartment is very large, stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean, well arranged to comfortably fit our family of 6, well air conditioned, with all the necessary amenities, and the balcony right on a canal was very cool.
It is off the beaten path a little bit, which is probably a good thing (still only a 10 minute walk to the big tourist sites and 5 minutes from the Ospedale vaporetto stop). The weird little alleyway by which you enter the place is surprising, but we got used to it.
Host was extremely helpful. I had a package get delivered unexpectedly early while we were out, and Pietro quickly arranged to receive it and hold it for pickup at a neighbouring apartment.
Overall, a great spot from which to explore the city
