If you're looking for a quiet spot has a jumping off point to explore Venice, you couldn't do much better than Christina's lovely home! It is a bit off the most touristy drag, but only an 8-minute walk to Via Garibaldi (some fantastic restaurants) and close enough to the vaporetto/Alilaguna stops that it was never a problem. It's also absolutely perfect location if you're planning on attending the Venice Biennale. The home was clean and comfortable and characterful, and Christina was a wonderful and thoughtful host. Hope to stay again in the future!
