For what we were looking for, this apartment worked perfectly for us. My wife and 12yo daughter spent a couple of nights at Giulia's apartment. It is modern, clean, comfortable, well equipped, relatively spacious (for Venice) and gave us a good experience of what it might be like to live in Venice rather than just be tourists in a hotel. The location of the apartment on the canal was private and quiet and away from the bustle but one bridge away you can get to good restaurants and bars, a couple more and you are back in bustle of the Strada Nova. From there you are on the route down to the Rialto bridge and the heart of Venice.
