Very close to the main train station, yet away from the noise. Since I landed very late (just before 7pm), she had someone show me the place and get me settled. It is about a 10-minute walk even with a small roller along the river from the bus/train stops. The first night was very cold, so after a few tries with the thermostat settings (the fan does not output heat I found out) and her help with an extra comforter, I could stay warm. Great host and a comfy, cozy spot to start the Venice journey.
