This was our favorite Airbnb during the 5 days we were in Venice. It was extremely clean and gave our family of 4 plenty of space. The kitchen was great for cooking small meals on evenings we didn't want to go out. It was about 15-20 minutes from major shopping/food markets and about 30-40 from San Marco square, but we enjoyed the serenity and quiet of the neighborhood. It was nice to retreat into our apartment at the end of a long busy day touring Italy and truly felt like home! Our host also met us at the water taxi late at night and was gracious enough to lead the way through Venice in the dark to our apartment. I would absolutely recommend to everyone with kids/family who wants a more local/calm expedience to stay here!
