Location location! Window views from the apartment were a major plus, you'll get to see gondolas coming through so definately picture worthy! The host provided clean towels and a hairdryer if required. If you are here in summer or early autumn, you'll see a few mosquitos so please BYO citronella and anti mosquito patches. We had no problems using the washing machine. Didn't see a kettle around and the water pressure as was mentioned in other reviews was frustrating and we saw some left leftover bread crumbs left by previous guests in the cutlery drawer. Host for the apartment was extremely responsive, he gave a great introduction of Venice as we were making our way to the apartment. SO easy getting from the water bus station to the apartment!
