Giusy's place is lovely. I received very clear instructions on how to get to her place from the airport. It was quite easy. We loved the neighborhood--close to everything but not in the tourist center. There are many good restaurants nearby, including an excellent one not a block away that we learned was Tintoretto's workshop. We were able to leave our bags after check out. It was extremely convenient and as a result were able to visit the Peggy Guggenheim museum our last day. We were also able to walk to the train station with our bags. Our bags were heavy over the bridges but not a big deal if you're able. It was the same amount of time to take the water bus--about 15 min. We loved Venice and we hope to return.
