The location is great. There is so much graffiti in Venice and a large police presence that we wondered if it would be okay but we had no problems. The locked courtyard entry helped with our feeling of security. The apartment is a bit cramped for five adults but we did fine. We booked originally for 4 adults and Luigi was kind enough to allow us to add one more person when our son got engaged. He was there to meet us and, despite some language limitations, was helpful and very accommodating. We really appreciated his help! We were there mid-May and it got a bit warm so we opened a window at night but got eaten by mosquitoes. The downstairs bathroom was comfortable with enough hot water and the beds were adequate. The upstairs toilet room helped out with a large group too. This place is probably pretty good for Venice and we would go back if ever in Venice again. We give it four stars overall for value for the climate of the apartment, and the bed comfort but overall it's a good place to stay.
