Communication with Antonio was great - everything very straightforward. The apartment is large and comfortable and nice and warm (given how cold it was in December). It is also really clean. A very easy place to live in. It is also really well located whether you want to visit the super touristy sites or the less busy areas (it's about 6 minutes to St Marks. We also really liked shopping locally (there are plenty of shops including supermarkets) as well as a lovely fruit and veg stall on the square in front of the apartment. Lots of bars and restaurants are nearby and it is the perfect place to base yourself on a trip to Venice. Thanks Antonio!
