Location: Great if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the busy squares and tourist areas. A stone throw away from restaurants, grocery stores and transport to the Airport/other areas of Venice. About 15 minutes walk either on the harbour side or through the romantic narrow streets of the Venice Interior to Piazza San Marco/ St. Marks Square.
Flat/Apartment: Although some may not want to walk up a couple flights of stairs, but I would say you would be missing out on a charming comfortable space. Michele's place was clean, stylish (Italian art touches), fully equipped kitchen and modern bathroom.
Host: Michele was an awesome host. Very responsive and accommodating. He also sends you information about places you may want to visit based on your interests whether it be from art to food.
I would 100% stay here again.
