Although there were some initial issues around the finer details of the checkin that got positively resolved in the end - the stay in the apartment was overall pleasant.
The highlights to bring out are definitely:
* Super good location (from where it is very pleasant to start your ventures into the city).
* Beautiful channel view from the street next to the apartment (beautiful enough for one being able to see painters visiting it regularly).
* Kitchen was well equipped.
* Very comfortable smart-foam pillows and mattresses that I wish absolutely every guest apartment would have
* Spacious apartment with working AC solution that helps you through the warmest days (and yes: have been in several apartments where the AC seems to be installed in the most illogical place where one is left wondering that it's there only to be able to mention it in listing but where the actual effect of it is nil).
There are some things to be aware of as well (not real negatives in our eyes, but being aware of such things before arriving will make hopefully all the difference):
* The apartment is situated near the main pathway to the bus station where many party-goers who are leaving to Mestre at night can be quite noisy (does NOT happen most nights; solved with ear-plugs).
* The street with the beautiful channel view will get chatty admirers - later than one would like (up to 2am). (does NOT happen most nights; solved with ear-plugs).
* The central AC unit in the kitchen (you can spot it in the kitchen photo as the brown cube near the ceiling) is a somewhat noisy one (enough for it to be hard to have a quiet conversation in kitchen when it's working). It does get more tolerable over time but first reaction was quite a strong one.
* Shopping for mosquito repellents as soon as possible is a must as you might have some unwanted friends at night time otherwise (when you have left the windows open for too long).
To conclude: we stayed there for almost two months and really got attached to the place. Things that stood out as problems are problems for many (if not most) apartments in Venice that are close to more crowded areas. The comfortable beds will leave a very lasting memory.
