I absolutely loved the location of Silvia's place. It is on a quiet little backstreet yet super close to the Accademia and Guggenheim. Best of all for Venice there are NO bridges you have to go over between the vaparretto stop and Silvia's.
The room is perfectly sized and unusually for Italy, on the ground floor, a fact I very much appreciated since I use a cane. As others have mentioned the shower is a little small but everything is new and sparkling clean. I would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Venice.
