Other places to stay in Venice are more difficult to find and if you are carrying luggage and your hotel is not near the station, you will need to take a boat (vaporetto), which costs 9.50 euros for a single ticket.

Here are some images of Viva Venezia.
Viva Venezia is located just off the lively street in the Sestiere (district) of Santa Croce, the Lista Vecchia dei Bari, where there are plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes, and two art galleries:
The building itself, like many houses in the Sestiere of Santa Croce, was probably built in the 16th or 17th century. A carved stone above the doorway represents a bishop's crozier and the letters "S.Z.E." (below, left). This marker also appears on the house next door. Both markers are identical to carved stones that appear set into the walls of the nearby Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista (below, right). Even though the Scuola is located in the neighboring district, the Sestiere of San Polo, it is only three minutes away on foot. It is very possible that the building that houses Viva Venezia was originally owned by or affiliated with the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista.
