Our stay at Stefania's place was great for a couple of reasons:
1. Location: It's very close to the tourist district of San Marco but not in San Marco - So you get to all the main areas in 15 mins walk yet stay away from the crowds in a quiet area. Everything you need - supermarket, ATM, cafes, restaurants, vaporetto stop (this is less than 5 mins so you don't have to lug luggage around) are all walking distance
2. Host - Stefania was super helpful! She picked us up from the stop, dropped us to the airbnb, gave us a map of Venice and showed us what was where and gave us amazing recommendations for food and also let us check in a little early. Do try out her reco's - we did and we were not disappointed!
All in all, it's a great place to stay in Venice and I highly recommend staying here rather than the tourist trap that San Marco is which will just make you hating the beautiful city that Venice is :)
