I had a great stay at Adriana's apartment. It's a bright, clean, and safe apartment with many amenities--washer, wifi, etc., and is very near the vaparetto (waterbus) stop which takes you to many locations on Venice (7ish min walk to the station, 15-40 min ride on the vaparetto depending on where you want to go). Keep in mind that one ride on the vaparetto is 7 euro and it's much cheaper to get a pass (20-60 euro, depending on length of time).
Venice is beautiful but it can be kind of taxing so I enjoyed staying on Lido, where there aren't as many tourists and it was just more relaxed.
I only speak English and some French and Korean, and no Italian, and Adriana's English is very limited, so her daughter and son help her out.
I highly recommend this place!
