This apartment was extremely spacious, beautiful and comfortable - more than we expected for a short trip in Venice. It is exactly as pictured - if not a bit nicer - and we loved being right off one of the small canals. We slept with the windows open and it was nice and quiet through the night (a rarity in Venice). Our only regret was not being able to stay longer... this would be perfect for a longer-term stay. As an added bonus - we were very grateful to be able to keep our bags at the offsite check-in location (a nice hotel); it was enormously helpful in allowing us to sightsee some more on our last day.
