The location was perfect as it was steps away from the water bus dock which is essential when traveling through Venice. It was of convenience as we were travelling with a lot of lugages and a toddler. Location is also far away from the very busy sector of the city but very close to San Marcos. Surronded by excellent restaurants, ice cream parlors and shops. Thank you for all your advices. We really appreciated the directions to the airport as that removed a lot of stress from our shoulders. Elena was very welcoming and accomodating for our arrival. She also had great suggestions for restaurants and provided us with a great personalized map as we wanted to avoided the over crowded and tourist trap of the city.
