The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. The balcony is lovely. We found the place in need of a deep clean as it was dusty and dirty in some places. I've sent further details of this to the host as from other reviews it looks like we are the first to experience this. During our stay the dishwasher and washing machine were not working and the smoke detector's batteries were taken out. Alltogether stuff that shouldn't be too difficult to fix for the next guests to make it a great place to stay in Venice.
