I absolutely loved this place. I would live here year-round if I could. The outside of the building is deceiving as it looks a little old and dingy. The inside is an adorable complex and Fran's apartment is beautiful. Everything is super clean! I had a private room with more than enough space. The bed was extremely comfortable (though small .. it's a twin, but that didn't bother me at all).
The complex is very quiet and peaceful - a short walk from Piazzale Roma, the main bus station. You can walk anywhere you need to go on the island in under an hour or take a water bus, water taxi or gondola! Not to mention, Fran is great. He picked me up from the bus stop and took me to the place, explained how all the doors and locks work, and gave me a map with detailed recommendations of where to go and what to see. You should definitely stay here!
