Guia's place is in a great location. Very convenient for the vaporetto (water bus) when traveling to and from the airport with luggage (saw a few people based in more central locations struggling through the crowded streets). We were able to check in early on day of arrival so we were free to explore. Miss Liuba met us from the F.Nuove vaporetto stop and showed us to the apartment and explained everything to us. The apartment was very quiet, clean and functional and was an ideal base for exploring. It is right by the canal and we saw a few gondolas go by our window. There was plenty of hot water and comfortable beds. We didn't cook much but the basic kitchen was sufficient for what we needed. Shops and market fruit stall very nearby for groceries. Tourist sights were a short walk, about 10 minutes to San Marco square.
