We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would not hesitate to book it again. The location is wonderful. It is just a few minutes walk from the Piazzale Roma bus stop. What does this mean? Well it means you have no transfers when you come in from the airport (about a 20 minute ride from Marco Polo) and it is the start for the water bus system on the Grand Canal. After you watch multiple tourists dragging their luggage through the streets of Venice or on and off the water busses you will appreciate this. Davide's brother Luca met as at the bus stop and guided us to his home. There he provided tips and restaurant recommendations. The apartment was spotless with large windows looking out over a canal. The street is relatively noisy during the day but quietens at night. Also, with the windows closed the noise is sufficiently blocked. For our tastes we found the bed very comfortable which is on the soft side. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a bakery right below for breakfast items.
There are only a couple of potential negatives that didn't affect us but might affect others. There is no elevator so luggage must be carried up the steps. If you have mobility issues that will be a problem, but likely Venice will be in general as there are stairs when crossing the canals. The bathroom shower is tiny with low water pressure but gets the job done. The apartment uses a demand hot water system so you never run out of hot water, but a tip is to leave the bathroom sink hot water tap running while showering. This ensures the demand hot water system is sensing the minimum flow required to regulate properly. Otherwise you will get intermittent cold water while showering.
