We absolutely loved our stay here! First of all, the hostess, Elena, greeted us right at the bus station when she said she would. She was very warm and welcoming, and walked us to the apartment, which is in a terrific, lovely and non touristy part of venice. The area is really peaceful and allows for very easy walking access to all other parts of the city. In addition, she had champagne and local treats waiting for is at the apartment. The space is terrific, was very clean and comfortable. The only things you might consider is that it is up a few flights of stairs which could be tricky with lots of luggage, but we had no problem going up once and down once. Also, I don't believe that there was a/c so it could get hot in the summer - we were a little worries about that when we first arrived but in the end we slept very comfortably. We would absolutely stay here again without thinking twice about it.
