We LOVED staying here! Yes, there were almost 80 steps to climb but it really wasn't bad and the convenience of being so close to St Mark's Square and "in the thick of it" far outweighed the extra exercise! We would definitely recommend staying here. So convenient! Great bakeries and restaurants near by. Very quiet at night! Just church bells adding to the atmosphere! Very comfortable beds. Good quality bed linens and towels. Dish washer and washing machine made life easy! Amazing views!
