We had a wonderful stay in this venitian apartment. It is very clean and spacious and has everything you need. The host is very kind and helpful and well organized so there were no problems finding the place or meeting to get the keys etc...This is my favorite area in Venice. You can experience life like a local from here and avoid tourists and tourist traps even in mid summer. It is near the University area (the famous Ca Foscari) and there are very nice authentic caffes in nearby Campo Santa Margherita (try the delicious tramezzini and expresso at Caffe Rosso). The apartment has everything you need to cook if you decide to shop at the nearby fruit and vegetable market at Campo San Barnaba or the nearby supermarket. Charming!
