This has been my most positive Airbnb experience yet. Paola's apartment is close enough to Venice via public transport to make the main attractions very accessible, but still is settled in its own rich neighborhood of shops and quiet hangouts. Paola also sent us an extensive list of the local shops and restaurants that proved to be very helpful. The garden is a very nice touch, and the kitchenette is very well outfitted (we had no problem cooking for ourselves after a quick trip to the market a two minute walk away). If you're looking to experience Venice and are OK with not sleeping right in the middle of it, there is no more perfect place than this one!
