Our stay in Antonella's apartment was thoroughly enjoyable. Being met at the water bus stop by Sylvia was a real bonus and enabled us to familiarise ourselves with the route to the apartment. Sylvia, also, took time to provide us with local information such as useful shops, restaurants, water bus details etc. The apartment itself has been renovated to create a lovely, fresh modern space with tasteful, up to date furnishings. It is exactly like the photos and in a very quiet side street. The kitchen is fully equipped, if you want to cook, there is a washing machine and the modern bathroom has a large efficient shower. The area is quiet but close to the water bus stop at Arsenele as well as major attractions ( we walked to St. Mark's Square and Doges Palace in about 15 minutes). We walked to Rialto Bridge along the atmospheric backstreets which is exciting as you never know what will be around the next corner. Ask about the panoramic view from Fondoco! We also took the Hidden Venice walking tour which was a great way to discover the city in places we would never have gone and you get a quick gondolier ride for 2 euros each! There are lovely food shops and restaurants nearby off the tourist route.
It is very hard to find anything negative to say but we did find the beds too hard, but some people like a firm mattress and would see that as a positive. Also, just be aware that you need to have 50 euros on you to pay for the cleaner when you first arrive. It is in the details but I expect some may not read this aspect of the rental contract.
We would highly recommend a stay at Antonella's apartment.
