The apartment looks just like the photos and is on the 7th floor with amazing views. The lift only goes to the 4th, so beware if you travel with large luggage. We were met in the square by Fatima, she was very sweet but doesn't speak English so we didn't understand some of the directions for the apartment. It is well equipped and spacious. The second bedroom is actually an alcove with a pullout couch and sliding door. The upstairs bedroom and bath were dark with low ceilings but pretty. The wireless worked most of the time. The W/D are on the 4th floor. You can watch the cruise ships come in and hear the singing gondoliers, the wonderful Peggy Guggenheim Museum is just across the way. It's located in a really nice area with restaurants in the square. We didn't meet the host nor hear from him during our stay but Fatima's family was able to answer most of our questions.
