The stay was a good location. In Venice, you are required to walk or take the water taxi to get around. I found that this place was a good location for walking to all the destinations.
Check in is at the hotel which was not easy to find, but when we called the front desk, she assisted us in finding it. I suggest waiting at the Accademia bridge and call the front desk to give you directions.
Yes the shower is small but it was but a deal breaker for us. I loved the location and I recommend it to anyone!
