It's a great space and a great location away from the crowds but close to things via vaporetto (it's great that there's a station right there). I went for the biennale so it was a bit of a hike from the Giardini, but still it felt nice to have as a refuge. It's 4 venetian floors up, which makes for a tall climb, but just try not to forget anything. I loved Antonio's recommendation to go by Fondamenta Misericordia which is really a lovely area. Robin was very attentive and nice. There's grocery stores and fruit market very near for basics.
