We stayed at Giorgia's place for a few nights before leaving for a cruise. The location was excellent. It was a short walk from the train station when we arrived, and we were able to walk to the People Mover in the Piazzale Roma, which took us right to the cruise port. We enjoyed that we had a quiet place to come back to each night, but just needed to walk a few minutes to get to the hustle and bustle of Venice or grab a water taxi up the Grand Canal. We were a bit late meeting Fabiano to get the key, because we didn't realize that the small alleyways were actually streets (Giorgia drew us a great map. For anyone new to Venice like us, the street between the restaurant and the bar is very narrow, so keep a lookout, so you don't get lost like us!). Fabiano was very gracious and understanding. The apartment was very spacious and clean. We loved Venice and staying at Giorgia and Fabiano's place!
