We stayed for a week. The location was excellent for visiting Venice on multiple days, but then getting out of the crowds and back to a quiet residential neighborhood. We are from the USA, but found no problem using a superb public transit system. Then modern tram to Venice is nearby and quick. Definitely purchase the transit card for single or multiple day use on trams, busses and water busses. To use the transit card simply hold it up to the card reader when you get on the bus or train, or at the entrance to the water busses (Vaporetto). The place was clean and comfortable. Mara communicated well. There were condiments left for our use. The bedroom had ample storage space for unpacking and living like a resident instead of a traveler. Loved the brick floors. Mara deserves her good reviews.
