We had a great stay at Rocco's place. Annabianca met us at the Vaporetto stop, which was very close to the studio, and gave a breakdown of events to see while we were in town. She provided a couple of a good places for food and drink and a market to purchase fresh produce. Perfect location if you want to see the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Punta della Dogana (great Tadao Ando work inside) and of course the Doges Palace at St. Marks Square. Windows open to a canal but not much noise. Continue down Calle Cerchieri to a dock where you can sit on the Grand Canal. Overall, a quiet location with proximity to many great sites!
