The apartment worked fine for what we needed it for. On the day of our arrival there was a huge event going on in Venice that we were not informed about prior to our arrival. It would have been nice to have known about this ahead of time as it detoured us quite a bit making it much harder to find the apartment. Luckily a hotel receptionist was nice enough to call the host for us and spoke to her in Italian to get better directions. The host did not understand much of what I was saying when I was talking to her so I was grateful for the translator. The apartment doesn't have AC but there were fans provided which helped cool the room down at night when we were sleeping. Overall the apartment was simple and met our needs for the two days we were in Venice.
