A great part of town for those who - like me - fancy knowing Venezia a bit more from the inside. Vaporetto stop very convenient, decent enough local eateries, also proper shops and bars charging normal Italian prices within easy reach. And if you need the famous bits, San Marco is a pleasant and classic walk away. Pleasant room in a normal B&B style, good service, air conditioning. Doesn't have the intimacy or insidership of someone's home, but for somewhere to stay in a great part of the most magical city in Europe (or maybe the world) it's hard to fault, and the price is good. Especially convenient, of course, for Biennale central venues & giardini.
