Zoia was a gracious host and very communicative before and during my stay. The home is a bit of a walk from the bus station but it's enjoyable, you get to see another side of Venice. It's not far from major bus routes so it's easy to get to the Islands or the bus station if you elect to take the buses. The home is in a safe neighborhood and is comfortable. She doesn't have AC so it can be a bit hard to get comfortable on the hot, humid Venice summer nights but if you're used to this, it isn't an issue.
I would stay here again.
