We will be spending just one night in Venice. We don't need fancy, just comfortable and clean, we love the Rick Steves way, small locally run BNB's. Any recommendations?
If you are arriving or departing via train then staying near the station makes sense.
Do you have a current RS Venice book?
Here is one- don't think he lists it

“Guesthouse Alloggi Artisti Agli.”
A basic lodging just a five-minute walk from the Venice Santa Lucia train station on a quiet side street in Cannaregio. Close to a Vaporetto stop. Breakfast is included.
