The host was fabulous. She makes you feel welcome and is always there for any questions you might have. Also cooks breakfast which is lovely. She goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. The neighborhood is fine. 5-10 minute walk for the train station and very convenient to get on a short bus ride to the main Venice part. She explains how to do all of that when you first get there. She's the best host I had on my month trip in Italy.
