We enjoyed our stay at Margherita’s place. Leone met us at the boat dock as it would have been difficult to find on our own, but once we knew where it was it was no problem. The neighborhood is quiet and away from the tourist crowds. Kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook there, but we were also provided recommendations for restaurants that catered to locals. We found them to be tasty and reasonably priced.
The apartment itself is very clean and well situated for exploring Venice.
One small note is that I am 6’4” and could not stretch out fully on the bed because of a footboard, but most will not have this problem :)
