I stayed at Jacopo's place for 1 week in May 2017. The location is great, just a short walk from Piazzale Roma on a very quiet side street but close to restaurants, banks, and grocery stores. From Piazzale Roma, it is just a short walk over the Calatrava Bridge to the train station and the Cannaregio neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and has a great waterfall shower, fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Jacopo and his family live upstairs so they are available when you check-in or have a problem or question and I felt safer knowing they were nearby. The vaporetto boats stop at Piazzale Roma but I was easily able to walk to the Rialto Bridge or Piazza San Marco. Before I arrived, Jacopo sent me information on how to take the bus from the airport to Piazzale Roma and even a video on how to make espresso. I would definitely stay at Jacopo's place again and I recommend it highly.
