8/10 Good

Comfortable and convenient.
We had a fantastic time in Venice helped by our choice of property.
On the map it may appear that you are on the other side of the main island to San Marco and Rialto, but you are only 10 to 15 minutes walking distance away. This property is well situated in that you get to wander through the streets and alleys, that you would perhaps not explore if you were near the landmarks. Also the cafes and restaurants in the areas outside the main attractions are less expensive, but equally as good.
The accommodation is a modern refurbishment. It was very comfortable and functional (although the second bed area only has a curtain separating it from the hallway). As you are in a residential area you may be woken early by local life in the morning, but embrace this as being part of your experience.
Don't worry about getting lost (in fact it is good to get lost in the city), as the city is not that big and some of the alleys look he same, but you will come across many squares that you will enjoy. The accommodation is near a hospital so it would be easy to find your way back.
Street food and (of course) gelato are good and plentiful all over Venice. I and my daughter recommend Nico's for the best gelato you are ever likely to taste!
If you want to experience the canals and get around to other islands, then get a 1,2 or 3 day pass for the Valporetto to get around (some routes go down the Grand Canal).
Thanks to Marina for her hospitality.
Get lost in Venice and enjoy!
