The apartment is beautiful. Nico was sick so I didn't get to meet him but his mother was so kind and nice. She helped to make reservations for us at very good restaurants. The apartment is so beautiful because it has a stunning view of Venice, although the stairs were a little rough with no elevators if you have big luggages. The overall experience was fantastic. We had very good breakfast prepared by Nico's mother. And the place is very clean. Shared bathroom could be a little unpleasant but it totally didn't affect our experience.
