The house was great, as was its host. It was a pity that the garden looked abandoned, dirty, and full of figs. We could not use it, even though we paid for it. That being said, the host was always there to help us with any irrelevant questions that came up - and I assume he was not obliged to. Thank you Stefano. The location was also great. Taking into consideration the cost of living in Venice, I would not consider it expensive. I would recommend it, in spite of the garden.
