Excellent location once you find it! Santa Croce refers to a rather large area in Venice, so the bus information desk at the airport didn't really know where we needed to go - although there really is only one bus/train station on the island. After Leonardo gave us the name of the restaurant near his place, it was easier to find and it was a short walk from the bus. He was there to meet us right away when we arrived. Easy to get to public transport and many shops, etc. The accommodations are clean, private and quiet. Having a private bathroom is a definite plus!
