The host and her husband were lovely. Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until 10pm. We were anxious about the late check in but Valentina's husband was there to greet us no problem. They even loaned us a power adapter right on the spot. It was all very much appreciated, and eased is in to Venice on the right foot.

The neighborhood is pretty much perfect!! Away from the main tourist center but still in the thick of it all with plenty to do and see. It was very convenient to get there from the airport and there is a water taxi station pretty much right there. We left by train and the walk to the train was about 10 minutes. Amazing restaurants and canals everywhere, although the greatest restaurants we found were hidden away about a 15-20 minute walk.

Luckily we had perfect weather and were only in the room to sleep at night so we didn't need the A/C. While there was a very new A/C unit in the room the vent was connected to an open window and the hot air was blowing right back in the room. We had it on at first, as it was a bit muggy, but opted to turn it off and open all the windows instead, and that was great!! In hotter weather I could see this being a problem though.

We also had a very weak WiFi signal and weren't really able to use the Internet which again wasn't really an issue for us but might be for some.

Only real disappointment was breakfast, as we read a review on AirBnB about how great it was. Really more like a "free continental style breakfast". Breakfast consisted of packages of toast, packaged yogurt, fruit, a single serving package of Nutella/jam, 1 croissant (with apricot filling) and some rolls, none of which were "fresh". To drink there was coffee/tea and juice, coffee was pretty good. The rooftop terrace was a plus and quite charming but we easily skipped breakfast the second morning and went for local pastries on the way to the train. Again it wasn't "bad" but seemed a little expensive for a bed and breakfast without a true breakfast.
Would definitely reccomend based on the nature of the hosts and the location alone!
