I can highly recommend Atelier 5 as accommodation for your stay in Venice. Location is excellent. It is calm, yet connected. There is a vaporetto stop close by for easy access into the city and also for moving in the city itself. One can avoid the queueing at the railway station's stop. There are markets and grocery shops rather close by, if one wishes to cook. But the Cannaregio area also has a vide variety of restaurants, offering venetian dishes and delicacies. Masa came to pick us up as promised and also gave us a tour of the house and explained the house rules. Later on we met Armina, who took us to a place called Forte Marghera, a more alternative venue in Venice. The hosts can give you information and also show you less traditional places and sights in Venice. We had a lovely holiday in Venice thanks to Atelier 5!
