We had a really good time staying at Adrianos place and immediately felt at home. Adriano is a great host, very open and easy to talk to. The place is charming, bright and calm and has a nice view. You even have your own private bath room. Supermarket and some restaurants are around the corner.
Don't be bothered because it is not on main island. For us it was even a "plus": the Vaporetto-Station (boats/public transportation) is just seconds away from the apartment. The boats go very often and to go by boat is really fun! And if you want to see some different areas of Venice you would have to buy a boat-ticket anyway.. So for us it was the perfect way to have an authentic stay in venice without being stuck to the tourist-crowded placed.
Perfect for exploring Venice, we would go there again!
