I stayed at Valentino's apartment September 2018 with my father (mid 70s) and son (4 years). It was an excellent place to stay and the photos of the apartment were very accurate. Valentino was a responsive host and the apartment was clean. The view was amazing. Nearby is the carpentry shop where the gondolas are made and my father and son enjoyed speaking with the craftsmen and watching as they 'tested' the gondolas during various stages of production. This apartment is suitable if you are travelling with family as there are two bedrooms. We did much of our cooking at home (2 meals per day) as my son eats before 7:30pm when the restaurants are open. We made use of the local butcher, fish monger, bakery and grocery stores. Nearby Giudecca restaurants that we enjoyed were La Palanca, Altanella, and Majer. We enjoyed staying off of Venice and travelled back and forth twice a day with ease using the Vaporetto service. I highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Venezia!
