The apartment was just great. Perfect view of grand canal, brand new furniture and good location were the highlights of the apartment. I especially like the location, where mostly locals live and far away from swarm of tourists in Venice. It was actually close to San Marco (20min) and 5-min to supermarket, which have very good products.
One more thing: Thomas helped a lot by giving local tips (restaurants) and informed about best transport possible (parking etc.) I met him one of the recommended restaurants on the first day.
To summarize, I can ensure you will be more than satisfied by renting the apartment!
