It's a nice, cool room in a B&B by the historic Jewish ghetto area.
Alice and her partner were very nice. They've set up a very clean, well maintained B&B, with a shared kitchen and multiple rooms. The air conditioning was excellent and was a relief from the humid Venetian heat. The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchenware, even with an orange juice squeezer and an espresso machine. At 8:30-10:30am, they serve breakfast and Alice was there to help make coffee and clean dishes.
The apartment was an easy walk from the train station, the boat to the airport, and many delicious restaurants. It's close to the outer western edge (next to the Jewish ghetto district). We found the food and crowds better there than the tourist center of Piazza San Marcos.
