The location was perfect for us. We had to leave early on our last day so we wanted to be somewhat close to the parking garage, and this was about a 5 minute walk. The walk to San Marco square is probably 20-30 minute walk depending on which way you go but we didn't mind this and enjoyed getting lost through all the ally's. Didn't really notice having other people staying with us so that was nice. Didn't care for having shared common places, but having our own bathroom was good. It was clean and had A/C, we received some good suggestions for food and spots to visit. I would't stay here again just because I would prefer our own private place, but for what it is I gave it 5 stars!
