Raoul's place is great for an out of the way stay close to Venice. You are steps away from the bus to take you into Venice or the Mestre train station, and there's a convenient store with a grocery just across the street.
The only thing that would have made the stay more enjoyable would be air conditioning. While we were there it was quite warm and while the oscillating fan was helpful, it didn't quite do the trick.
The common area was clean with a few snacks available for the guests. The two bathrooms were largely clean though this depends on the other guests too.
