This is a great place to stay if you want to be away from touristy area. It has a an amazing cafe and great restaurants 1-2 streets away. 30 min public boat ride to St Marks plaza or 30 min walk to more relaxed San Polo plaza. Also visit San Margherita plaza in Dorsoduro, it’s 10 mins from San Polo. Francesca’s home is a great area to explore from as it’s also 10-20 min walk from 2 vaparetto stops that go to airport and the islands Burano and Murano. The attic gets hot in the summer but that’s the only downside. She’s super friendly!
