Beatrice was very nice and even met me near the train station to get me back to her place. It was a big and clean home and had passable wifi. There isn't air conditioning but luckily it wasn't too hot during my stay. The only minor problem I had was mosquitos and a few ants roaming around but that's part of living on water I suppose! It is also a good 30min walk to get to the big attractions but it was nice living among locals and having to wander around Venice.
