Thanks for the input! Here it goes:
http://www.cortecampana.com/?lang=en&act=home http://www.casarezzonico.it/rooms.html http://www.dimoramarciana.com/ http://www.locandacavaleri.com/en/index.htm Lacorte is fully booked so doesn't matter. I also want to correct, pictures on rooms look better for Dimora and Ca Valeri, the rest ore nice enough. I guess what I am trying to find out is what anyone feels (if they've been to any of these or if they are familiar with neighborhoods) is the best choice as far as location/immediate neighborhood, romantic/old world ambiance, and while I did my research on proximity to vaporettos and such, I'd appreciate any input on that. We are arriving at St Lucia by train and leaving via Airport, and from my research it seems the boat stops for boat are pretty accessible, but you never know when the information is accurate. Thank you!

Tina, unless you get some specific negative feedback about one of them, I suggest you stop agonizing and picknthe one you like the best from the photos and reviews. Which one seems to have the right look and ambiance for you? I am usually all about location, location, location, but not so much in Venice. As long as you stay away from the train station area, it's all good. Some might have specific wishes like a balcony on the Grand Canal, a view of the bacino, overlooking a campo, an entrance off a side canal, etc., but as far as neighborhoods go it is simply a matter of personal preference. Venice is very small and walkable and no place is very far from anyplace else, once you find your way. I tried to look at the locations on Tripadvisor but for some reason the location map function does not show up on my Mac. On the iPad only Casa Rezzonico showed a location. I like that one---located in Dorsoduro on a small canal, and it appears fairly close to Rialto Market which is a " must see" in the morning. But that is just me and my taste. I can't compare to the locations of the others, as I don't have time to go to each individual website.

Thank you for your reply..Here is the map below, the Rezzonico is the only one away from all the others I mentioned (which are all clustered together around st mark's). website says take a boat to st mark's. I guess I'm wondering if it's easier to walk to sights or boat to sights? http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Fondamenta+S.+Lucia,+30100+Venezia,+Italia+(Stazione+di+Venezia+Santa+Lucia)&daddr=Casa+Rezzonico+Hotel,+Venice,+Italy+to:Dimora+Marciana,+Venice,+Italy+to:Corte+Campana+B%26B,+Fondamenta+del+Rimedio,+Venice,+Italy+to:Ca%27+Valeri,+Venice,+Italy+to:La+Locandiera+Hotel,+Campo+San+Giovanni+Novo,+Venice,+Italy&hl=en&sll=45.436075,12.333312&sspn=0.018912,0.045447&geocode=FTZgtQId4gC8ACEWzMnOWtJIlg%3BFU5AtQIdQgi8ACEEei0toMV-DQ%3BFQxEtQIdNDu8ACEnAWBH46jKsCkB4lit0LF-RzGAIa8DhwkHEw%3BFfVLtQId_E68ACFhbVWbHnmQCynnE8hG2LF-RzGxgq8DhwkHEw%3BFdhHtQId5me8ACGhAhC79o80Rw%3BFWxLtQIde1C8ACEK8MTrLw0Peykba5M_2LF-RzFQjK8DhwkHEw&oq=piazz&dirflg=w&mra=pr&t=m&z=15

They are all in good areas. I guess you must decide how close you want to be to St. Marks. We stayed in the area of Rezzonico and liked it because it was very quiet and we could walk everywhere. It did take us a little while to get to St. Marks but that was fine with us as we weren't in a hurry and enjoyed exploring. I think you should just pick the one you feel is the best fit for you. Donna
