This location proved to be right in the heart of the action (Piazza di San Marco) while being conveniently next door to a few comfort stops (Zara and Hard Rock Cafe). For a first-timer to Venezia, this was an added bonus (I did end up needing some dressy pants for a night at the opera, so nice to literally walk downstairs to shop). The AC was never turned off as we visited in the hot summer month of August—but each room provided its own unit with remote control, so that was an extremely important factor in our comfort. The shower in the master bedroom was a bit tight for my standards, but the shower in the second bathroom offered larger, more standard space so it wasn’t a concerning factor. The host was extremely attentive and thorough in explaining the amenities and providing tips for visiting the city. An expresso machine was also included and I loved being able to just swing the window open and sipping a morning cup while watching the gondoliers directly below us (yes, it’s that close!). All in all, a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend for your first or fifth visit to Venezia!
