Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. It is a bit off the beaten path. Within the neighborhood there are restaurants and coffee shops and a market close by, but it is far from the main areas of Venice you might want to visit...which is good and bad. If you want to be away from tourists, this is definitely the place for you and that's one thing we really liked about it. But heading to the Grand Canal etc took some time and we had to factor that in when going places. It was clean and the bed was cozy. The host was very responsive and helpful with navigating to and from airport/train station etc.
