It was a pleasure staying at Giuseppe's apartment. We were two couples and the beds and the available room was absolutely sufficient. The surrounding area is very nice and laid back. Nice bars and restaurants.
The view is amazing, but be aware the canal is very busy starting at 6 AM. If you are very noise sensitive bring earplugs or opt for a different place. For us it was fine, as you can just sit by the window and watch all the typical Venetian activities on the channel.
