What a wonderful spot to stay in Venice! The location was superb - a 5 min walk to San Marco, and yet the little cul-de-sac where the apartment is located feels tucked away and is very quiet. And, as long as you don't mind stairs, it's worth the long flights up to stay in a top floor apartment.
The apartment is lovely: clean and comfortably furnished. Far more spacious than you would get in any hotel. We took advantage of the washing machine - a great plus. A few really great extra touches like a stack of Venice tour books, recommendations for restaurants and activities from our host, and a Nespresso machine.
The ONLY downside to our stay were the mosquitos and flies. It can get really stuffy in a top floor apartment, so naturally we wanted to open the windows and get some of that fresh Venice air circulating inside. After just a few minutes with the windows open there would be a swarm of flies and mosquitos in the apartment. I was eaten alive by the mosquitos, and my husband spent each nights going to war with the flies. It definitely detracted from our stay.
