First, I will say that it was a great place to stay. It was a bit more than "50 steps" from the square. That being said, the location was still awesome. Right on a canal. There were boats that drove by so that was fun to watch as well. We have staid in Venice before, so we already knew, but people stay up and travel all night here so if noise bothers you, the canal next to it might be a turn off. Very clean. The staff that met me was friendly. A little dated in the furnishings, but comfortable and cozy. Not on the first floor, but an elevator made that no problem for luggage. Overall, I would stay here again. Bring euro with you. You will need to pay a small fee in cash that wasn't stated prior to arrival.
