The apartment is in a great location close to a lively square with bars, restaurants and a supermarket but quiet at night and in the morning. The living room is lovely, and seems very Venetian. The bedroom is spacious with a large comfortable bed. (the second bedroom was locked) and the little balcony got the sun all day and we loved having breakfast with views of the canal. Lucia kindly met us at the bus station to take us to the flat, and Stefano helpfully agreed to let us store our luggage as we had a late flight. Lucia didn't really give us any recommendations which was a shame but there were guidebooks for us to use.
However we felt other parts of the apartment need work. The shower in the bathroom was over the bath, narrow and awkward to use, tiles chipped and the bath so covered in limescale I would not use it even after a day's walking in Venice. The kitchen, though reasonably well equipped, is shabby. Other than soap, there were few amenities and they I suspect were things people had left.
That said we had a great time in Venice.
I also feel that £70 cleaning, it goes up if there are more than two people, was rather steep.
