Giusy sent a nice, helpful woman named Nicky to meet me just outside the house. I'd found the house pretty easily, asking people along the way as I walked from the train station. The location of the b&b is brilliant--Cannaregio is exactly far enough off the beaten track to be attractive, yet it has its own neighborhood life--very normal and charming, with kids returning home in their soccer uniforms, people jogging, pushing strollers, etc. The restaurants are top-notch, it's safe and relaxing, and if you take in any of the huge tourist attractions, you can come back to Giusy's to refuel. I worked about 2-3 hours a day and found this spot to be enormously conducive to that.
