Had a wonderful stay here. Apt is slightly set back from the busy crowds which makes it somewhat quieter. No elevator in the building so be prepared to hand carry your luggage up a couple of flights of stairs. Also, be sure to get precise directions from host on exact location of building. The map provides to us by the host was not clear. If this is your first time in Venice the streets can be very confusing. Fortunately the host answered the phone immediately and guided us to the building which we really appreciated.
