We had a nice time staying in Claudio's house. Claudio is a great host. He's friendly, helpful and polite. He spent time to instruct us how to move around, what to avoid and where to go and see in Venice. I appreciate his knowledge, tips and sense of humor. His hospitality makes us feel comfortable since we know that we can get help from the local whenever we need. Claudio took us from and to the airport by car with a decent sum in exchange, this saves us a lot of time and effort. The house is nice and tidy with quiet and safe neighborhood. It takes about 30 mins to travel to Piazzale Roma central bus station in Venice by 1 tram or auxiliary bus since the tram track is now under renovation. During daytime, this tram/ auxiliary bus is usually fully packed with passengers. We find this public transportation connection is convenient and simple, which is marvelous for family with small children like us. The house is equipped with kitchenware and air conditioner upstairs. We loved having meals in the small garden in front of the house, despite "super fast" uninvited mosquitoes visitors. For that Claudio has the mosquitoes repellent smoke. The house is not flashy new in every corner but it serves perfectly our trip's purpose as a family with small children. There's a long stair, so toddlers' parents and mobility impaired people should take this into consideration. We recommend this place, especially for families with children who appreciate self-cooking and local lifestyle.
