The apartment is modern and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the historic touches left in tact throughout the building and apartment. The apartment is away from all the hustle and bustle of the main corridors and it was nice to watch Venetians go on with their daily lives. With that being said, it was only a block or two to a main corridor with shopping, dining, and most importantly, coffee bars! Be aware of the steep steps going up to the apartment if you have a problem with stairs. It's about 4-5 flights up with no elevator available. I would highly recommend this apartment.
