My partner and I had a wonderful time staying at Tisone's flat not far from Fondamente Nuove, a great location sufficiently far away from the madly hectic tourist centre but not so far as to not be able to walk anywhere with ease. Tisone was kind enough to meet us at the Fondamente Nve waterbus stop and guide us to his apartment. The flat itself is charming, simply but very tastefully and cosily furnished, with a comfortable bed, large living/dining room and cute simple kitchen which was adequately equipped for all our needs. The flat was very clean and Tisone was so thoughtful as to even leave us a good selection of breakfast items and a bottle of wine! The view from the kitchen and living room windows is exactly what you see in the photo, with gondolas passing by every now and then, quite delightful, and what more could you ask for in Venice?! The WiFi worked perfectly, as did the hot water and heating (there's also an air-conditioner for summer visitors). The fact that there's no television actually appealed to us: absolutely the last thing you need to do visiting La Serenissima is sit in front of a TV screen.

I can't praise the flat highly enough, and I'd love to stay there again one day just as much as I'd love to return to Venice as soon as possible as it is such a magnificent and unique city.
