Cristina is a great host alongside the help of her husband Marco. We arrived around 9PM and Marco was on hand to check us in and show us around our room. The room was completely accurate and identical to what you see online. Getting to the room is very easy from Marco Polo airport (15 minutes in a car, 40 minutes by water taxi). The room is just on the canal and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to San Marco square. If it is your first time going to Venice, I would recommend staying here. The route you take into the centre lets you see a lot more of Venice than you probably would if you were already there, not to mention the hospitality of Cristina and Marco.
