Check in was painless, we were met at the Fondemente Nove ferry stop having taken the boat from the airport and it was only a short walk to the apartment.
The apartment was clean, well equipped and comfortable. There is a supermarket only a few minutes away and the kitchen area more than adequate if you wish to self cater. If you want someone else to do the cooking there is a large selection of restaurants within easy walking distance.
There were two for us staying so we only used the bed in the bedroom which was large and comfortable. The apartment backs right on to a canal but the sound of the boat traffic is not intrusive and we had no problems sleeping. The apartment is in a 'working' part of Venice and it is fascinating to watch the cavalcade of different craft pass the windows; builders boats, water taxis, delivery boats, and as the hospital is on the opposite side of the canal, water ambulances.
Despite being situated in a quiet area the apartment is well placed and the whole of Venice is in walkable distance, S.Marco or the Rialto bridge are only 10 minutes away.
If you are planning to travel to the islands of the lagoon (and you should) or a trip down the Canal Grande it is worth doing some research into fares. Single fares are extremely expensive but timed (24 hr 48 hr etc.) tickets offer good value if you plan your trips in advance to maximize their use.
We had a great time based in the apartment and have no hesitation recommending it to anyone needing a convenient, comfortable base in Venice.
