Our host met us and showed us some of his favorite restaurants and supermarkets on the way from the vaporetto to the apartment. He is very charming and friendly and made us feel right at home. The apartment was very clean and spacious with a nice kitchen that's equipped to cook a small dinner if you get tired of eating out. It's a great neighborhood with many good restaurants and bars nearby yet the street is very quiet and calm, about a 10 minute walk from the Academia museum and vaporetto stop. All in all, a perfect place to stay in Venice.
