Monica's place was great! Right in the heart of Venice....10 minute walk to all the sights in the city. It's up on the 3rd floor (with no elevator), which can be a challenge if you have bulky bags or difficulty with stairs. But the apartment is very nicely equipped. The shower was the only complaint I had....very low water pressure and very little hot water (I was instructed to turn on the sink's hot water in order to get the shower hot). But that's just part of living in an old Venetian palace...21st century conveniences aren't always possible!
