We absolutely loved the apartment. Great decor. Great neighborhood (quiet at night, lots of good restaurants, close to water taxi, easy walk to tourist sights).
The host, Arrigo, is a prince. There was a transportation strike the day we arrived and Arrigo called the day before and offered to pick us up in Padova. The strike didn't affect our train but it did affect the water taxis so Arrigo met our train and walked us to the apartment, pointing out sights and best places for this or that along the way. We were very early but Arrigo held our bags for us so we could see some sights and get a bite to eat. When we arrived back for check in Arrigo explained everything about the apartment and then sat down with us with a map and showed us more sights and explained the water taxi routes and best days to do certain activities. All of the info was beyond valuable and made for a perfect stay.
If you are bothered by mosquitos Arrigos place is a MUST as he has screens and I don't think we saw anyone else with screens in Venice. Without screens it would be impossible to enjoy the soft fresh air and a breeze in the afternoon/evening.
