There's a lot to like about this place. The location is great - away from the main tourist areas, so nice and quiet but within 20 mins walk of the main sights and close to a good supermarket and restaurants. The apartment was clean and comfortable and the air con is really good. On the less positive side, the professionally taken photographs don't really give an accurate impression of what the apartment is like in reality. As others have mentioned below, the apartment is actually quite a bit darker, smaller and much more dated than these photos would lead you to believe. The kitchen in particular is extremely small and very dated and IMHO could do with some updating. All of the cutlery, plates, pots, pans etc were quite greasy and grubby - we had to re-wash everything we used. The filter coffee machine was missing a carafe so we had to use a very old bialetti stovetop coffee maker with a loose lid which wasn't very clean either. We tried to follow the extensive rubbish collection instructions but there is only one small (broken) bin in the kitchen so we had to sort through the garbage by hand before taking it down. Even so, we were told that there had been a complaint that we had put the wrong items in the wrong bins, so I ended up going down to the bins and going through everything we had put in there to make sure it was all in bags and in the right bins - not much fun but apparently the rules are very strict. It is also worth noting that you are not supposed to go into the garden which is next to the bin area - we missed this information and got some dirty looks when we wandered in there once by mistake.
All in all, we had a nice time but it's not the kind of place we would have stayed had we realised what it was like before going - we would have prefered somewhere more bright and modern...but maybe that's just not Venice!
