This place was great for our family. The host met.us at the bus and walked us to the place - a must for first timers to Venice! The location is great in terms of quiet and safe, however, it is on the 'outskirts' of Venice so you're a little bit farther from the heart of the action - for us it was an acceptable compromise and allowed us to wander the tiny streets a bit more too!. Overall it was a great value and experience and we would definitely recommend this place for anyone, especially families.
