This is a great place to stay but there are one or two minor issues - as others have said the shower is TINY. Oh and when you first arrive, main light switch you'll need for the kitchen is hidden behind the velvet curtain next to the sink. Also it is fairly noisy during the day (you can hear any noise people make as they walk past), but very few people walk past after about 11pm so you can still get a decent night's sleep. Having said that the location is perfect for exploring Venice - just use the Rialto Bridge ferry docks as your base and get the no. 2 ferry in both directions, and tons of things to see in walking distance - definitely go see the Doge's Palace, and while I wasn't impressed with the island of Murano I still recommend going if only for the ferry ride over - I got some gorgeous photos when I went on the no.3 ferry from Piazza de Roma. Food-wise I highly recommend La Donatella for amazing desserts, Zikiya for reasonably priced Chinese/ Japanese buffet and Coop supermarket for decent and cheap Italian produce. Finally just wander - make sure you have Google Maps set up so you know you can find your way back and then just start walking with no destination in mind - you'll find some real gems if you do, especially if you wander away from the more touristy areas.
