We really enjoyed our stay at Massimo's apartment in Venice. The location is great and the apartment is actually nicer than the photos show. Massimo was a very helpful host, and I highly recommend his apartment. You should be aware that there are about 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment and the bathroom is quite small. But it was very comfortable for our family of 4, as the 2nd bedroom can fit two single beds. There is also a little window seat off the living room with a nice view (which you don't see in the photos). It is also close to a waterbus stop for getting to other islands, the train station and lido etc.
