The place was fabulous, located just close enough to tourist hotspots (Rialto bridge, St. Mark's basilica) to get there easily (once you figure out how to navigate Venice's streets) but far enough off the beaten path to feel like you have gotten away from the crowds. The space itself is gorgeous and you can really feel the love and care Paolo and Ricardo put into it. It was spotless and really well-appointed. Paolo and Ricardo themselves are wonderful and full of helpful information. They met us at the vaporetto (bus/boat) and guided us to the apartment (thank goodness!).
