Can I get some recommendations for a good area to stay in an Airbnb, VRBO, etc., in Venice?
It is the last city of four where we will be staying (Rome, Lucca, Florence) arriving by train there and flying home. Our tastes run to quieter, less busy locations. Example, in Rome, we will be staying in Trastevere as we have done once before.
Thank-you!

We love the Cannaregio area in Venice. It's situated on the back canals and is very quiet and beautiful!

You don’t want to near San Marco, St. Mark’s. Very crowded. We have stayed in Cannaregio in the northern part and in Dorsoduro, You can find less crowded and quiet in these areas. Of course there is no traffic noise!

We like Dorsoduro, the area around Campo San Barnaba. No bridges to cross from theCa Rezzonico vap stop.

I just stayed at an Airbnb in San Polo, 1/3-1/2 of the way between Rialto and the dreamy Dorsoduro. 10/10 would recommend the area.
I'd even recommend the specific AirBnB. I linked to it in a comment on this thread: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/italy/going-to-italy-again-in-october-and-finally-seeing-venice

Richard—I recognize that canal in Dorsoduro. That is a great location.
