In a word: perfect. The location is 10 minute walk from bus and train station but not at all overrun with tourists. Nicholas' home is just beautiful, a true palazzo for anyone who dreams of a Venice filled with art and excellent taste. It's right on a canal with a lovely backyard. Nicholas is very generous and the breakfasts are just right before a day of sightseeing or just walking around. If I go back to Venice, I'll be back at Nicholas' home.
