Patrizia's home was just as described and was perfect for our stay in Venice. It is slightly outside of Venice's main busy areas which make it great for taking in the local scene and also avoiding high tourist prices for food and drink. The vaporetto (public water transit) is nearby making it easy to get around to other tourist destinations. A big plus was having air conditioning in the unit as it was hot! Note that there is no wifi in the unit but downstairs there is a great bar where you can easily get wifi, as well as in any other restaurant in Venice. It is also very close to the train station. Would recommend this place for a couple looking for a quieter stay in Venice.
