It's a nice location, a bit away from the more touristy areas of Venice. The host provides a lot of recommendations for good restaurants in the area. Keep in mind, these older buildings can be a bit noisy when doors open/close. Also with no AC, I had to keep my window open at night, and when you're surrounded by canals you should expect mosquitoes. But these are issues that likely exist for most non-hotel locations in Venice. All in all it was a great place to stay for a couple nights.
