Really wonderful host who accommodated my flight delay dramas, and let me check in hours earlier than the official 2pm check in time. (His previous guests had already checked out early.) The flat is spacious, had two separate rooms (I only used the master bedroom), is clean, and has a lovely courtyard facing a canal.
The amenities are basic, but you’ll easily find all you want from bakeries and grocer. Mostly, if your plan is to be away from the place, explore restaurants, art, go to a conference (as I did), and simply experience Venice itself, this is the right place to stay.
The flat is very close to the vaperetto (8mins walk); shops, restaurants, etc. It’s quiet and very local. It’s also very easy to go to San Marco or other islands — far less time than the interwebs will tell you. I went all over easily with my pass. Also, there’s an Alilaguna water taxi that will get you to Lido directly from the airport for v cheap (the host is the person who told me about it).
