The apartment is as described, located off the tourist track that brings a more local feel, however need to walk a bit (not a problem for me considering how small Venice is). It's functional, very clean with 2 small toilets. Natasha, the pick up lady, is nice. Barbara is also nice by providing lots of useful info even though I never met her. The only problem we have is the steep staircase not so comfortable for my parents. To conclude, I enjoy my stay and would recommend it to anyone who want to avoid noisy touristy track.
