The thing that attracted us to the apartment was the balcony and it was great. Location was ideal as we were in walking distance of everywhere. It really had a feel of local Venice with a mix of tourists.
Whilst we didn't mind pottering around on our own and finding restaurants and things to do, it would have been good to get some tips of the area.
Also on the first night, it was warm so we left the window open.. big mistake for us as we were destroyed with mosquitos bites. If you are prone to this make sure you bring repellent.
Overall this apartment was exactly as expected and we would have no hesitation in recommending it..
