We really enjoyed our stay in Sofia's apartment. It was spotlessly clean and she provided a basket of fruit, biscuits and essentials in the fridge and there was also a coffee machine. The apartment has a small balcony and looks out onto a vibrant street in Cannaregio where there was always something interesting going on. Sofia had some v good local recommendations on where to eat and we had a great, reasonably-priced lunch (fritto misto) at Osteria Al Mariner (a few doors up), there's also a v good takeaway pizzeria next to the apartment and a great burger place/sports bar (i know, it's Italy - but my teenage son loved it) opposite. I'm really pleased we chose Sofia's apartment and Cannaregio is a vibrant, interesting place (not too touristy) which is great to come back to in the evening after a day's sight-seeing.
