Martina's flat is in the ideal location for Venice! Right in the middle of the island, an easy walk to sights in any direction (including both San Marco and Piazzale Roma). San Polo is a great neighborhood just far enough from the Grand Canal to feel peaceful and quiet. The flat is airy and spacious--we had everything we needed, including two excellent restaurants a few steps from the door and groceries a short walk away. Martina is a terrific host. We especially appreciated her tips for restaurants and sights not listed in the guidebooks. Highly recommend.
