Sylvia's room is more like a small apartment. It's a Little but out of the way for easy walking to the sights, but has easy access to the vaporetto The space is roomy and in a quiet neighborhood There are few shops or restaurants in the immediate area. The house is in a nice old building with a secure entry and only one set of stairs to climb for access once inside. The walk from the vaporetto to the property is about ten minutes, and requires crossing two small bridges. This means carrying rolling luggage up and down about 12 more steps along the way. In hind sight, I would have liked to have been a little more centrally located for easier walking to the city's attractions.
