Giacomo is super helpful and we also were lucky to catch a neighborhood tour from his father. I have been to Venice multiple times and this is the first time I felt like I was seeing a more local experience. It was a doable walk to the train station and you can easily walk to catch the vaporetto. It might be a slight distance from the main attractions but it is 100% worth the walk to get away from that toursity Venice feel. Nothing felt better than walking back to our quiet neighborhood at the end of a long day. There are also a lot of nice restaurants near by and the area has a great atmosphere.
