The House of Frari is a wonderful place to stay. It is close to the water taxi stop and in a lovely square with several local cafes. There is a nearby market as well, for any incidentals you might need. (We did have trouble with the washing machine, so be careful if you are not familiar with European appliances.) Nicola was in communication with us throughout and allowed us to leave our luggage until our train left. Once you get comfortable with Venice and getting around the area, you will feel very much at home. Looking forward to our next trip to Venice.
