To say that this place is in a prime or perfect location is an understatement! It is literally steps from San Marco square as indicated. The space is very romantic and modern with windows overlooking a bustling but cozy Venice street. We strongly recommend taking the water bus to San Marco square. Venice is a labyrinth and we were lost for several hours trying to follow the map to our meeting place. The signs for San Marco don't appear until you get much further into the city which isn't very helpful until you reach that point. The streets and canals are so complicated not even locals are much help with directions. Save yourself the hassle and catch the waterbus (to the left of the main entrance) for $7 and enjoy the beautiful ride. It only takes 20 to 30 minutes!
