This is the best location you can find next to San Marco. Nikita's mother who lives in part of the space is so warm and wonderful you'll want to adopt her. We stayed on third floor which indeed had a view of the top of San Marco Basilica. It had a comfortable bed and large shower. The only downside is the beams on the ceiling of the bedroom. Both of us wacked ourselves a few times. I'm 5 ' 7" and my husband is 5' 9" - so we're not that tall. Next time we will request the second floor and we would definitely stay here again.
