Anna was a great communicator. The location is perfect and accessible to all the main attractions near San Marco. Right around the corner is Academia, Guggenheim a few blocks away. San Marco is 15 minute walk across the bridge 1 block away. The cafe across the street is great with 1.2 euro cappuccinos.
The towels were a bit hard and the shower could use a good scrub through.
Overall the location is what you’re paying for. The greeter was rude and a bit racist, not sure if it’s the tourist/ foreigner issue or the fact that I’m Korean-American. I noticed many Venituan vendors disliked Asian tourists, especially before I spoke the Italian to them. It’s a bit of a shame. Venice is a beautiful city that survives on the tourist income. More tolerance is highly recommended, and kindness with hospitality goes very far.
As an artist who came to the city looking for inspiration- I found the landscape beautiful, yet the citizens were harsh, living inside a bubble, with discriminatory views towards anyone who looks different. I am disappointed. Venice gets “The Fall of Venus” as my departing portrait to be made in the near future.
