Tisone's apartment is a great place to stay in Venice. Once you find it (not a bad idea to have him meet you at the Vipareto/boat) you will see that you are only 10-20 minutes from almost everything you want to see but in a quiet neighborhood. We are visiting in October so the windows are closed at night and it is very quiet.

The kitchen is fully equipped can dine out or, if you just want to rest at home, cook here. I am a vegetarian, so I enjoyed loading up on beautiful fresh vegetables at the Rialto market and eating pasta Primavera with the emphasis on Primavera. There is also a huge fish market at Rialto.

One tip- if you do walk from the train station, when you get to the end of the main "street", ask for Chiesa di Miraculo - that will put you in Campo Santa Maria Nova around the corner from the apartment.

Another tip - If you like wine, there is a "bulk" wine seller across from the door to the COOP supermarket (marked on the map in the house) where you can buy liter of wine for 3-5 Euro. The owner is very warm and all of his recommendations were excellent.
