The location is very good if you did not want to spend so much staying directly in Venice. The room is a 10 minute walk from the train station, and there were several wonderful restaurants near by. We did not feel unsafe walking around, but there are different groups hanging out everywhere so just be alert. The check-in process was wonderful and professional. The room was a perfect space for two people. We loved the bed, and the bathroom was a good size. The AC worked well, and they provided extra blankets which were great. Great stay for a Venice trip!
