The location is great, though its on the opposite side of the grand canal where most of the happenings are. I was ok with that though, as the taxi is easy to take and quick. A note of advice, if you are arriving by train, take the "C" location for taxi. Thats the one out of everything you need.

Was awesome to see gondolas pass by, and the place is next to a supermarket which made for great lunches and not just eating out. Our host was great and I would recommend it.
