Simone was a wonderful host. He was very good at communicating prior to and during our stay. He was great and responsive to all our questions. His home is adorable and very clean. His location is great and very close to arrival from airport via bus as well as close to train station to depart to other cities. It is also very close to the water taxi. I also highly recommend a multi day ACTV water taxi pass as it was a great way to get around. Skip the gondolas. Too slow and too expensive unless you have lots on time and money. It is close to Jewish Ghetto where lots of good food is found. The only thing that should be known is being so close to a main thoroughfare there can be some noise at night from local gatherings at restaurants below. However it did not interfere with our stay.
