I stayed with my wife and daughter (one year old) for a week and its was just perfect. The house was calm, spacious, spotless clean, very well equipped (a confy crib for our daughter), everything we needed for cooking.
The neighborhood is very lively, litteraly one door away from a delicious small "restaurant" (la Cantina Aziende Agricole). The canal just behind (Fondamenta dei Ormesini) is full of wine bars, cozy cafés, good ice cream. We appreciated being away from the most touristy places (San Marcos square or Rialto are just twenty/thirty minutes walking anyway).
