We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was local enough to escape from the crowds in Venice, but only a 1/2 mile walk from the train station, within a mile or so of most major Venice attractions (Rialto, Piazza San Marco, etc.) and a few steps from local shops, restaurants and cafes. The host was there to greet us, gave us local suggestions and even had bread and biscuits from their own bakery! We really enjoyed having a kitchen to use and had no problems with other guests or sharing a bathroom.
