Elzbieta's place is perfect for a family stay. It's away from the crowds but central and at walking distance from most attractions. We could walk down to the house from Venezia Santa Lucia train station in about 20 minutes with a couple of shoulder bags and two trolley bags (We walked slowly so as to cause minimal noise from the trolley bags - the residents of Venice would really be fed up with all the tourists lugging their luggage along the street, every hour of the day! It makes sense to travel light in Venice). We also walked down to other attractions and never had to use the crowded water bus.
The house is well provided for and in a nice locality. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Elzbieta's place.
