We arrived early in Venice and were able to stop by the hotel. It is a very short walk from the vapporetto stop. I highly suggest communicating with them your time of arrival in Venice. They will send you messages with the Expedia messaging and they will respond to your inquiries. We were able to check in our baggages well in advance while we went sight seeing. The hotel is situated in a small square where not many tourists pass through. You walk 1 or 2 minutes in any direction and you find bistros, restaurants and shops. It is very close to St. Mark Square. A 4 minutes walk to the edge of the laggon, turn right, and your'e there. The room we had is 01. Nice studio with all the amenities. You can open the window on the canal. There's even an old door that opens on the canal, giving you a unique view. The bed was clean and comfortable. There are 2 A/C units which help make the room dry and cold if you like it that way. We did. The staff is without questions the most helpful and friendly I've seen in all my travels. For example, I wet my pants, socks and boots because of the high tide. The lady at the front desk let me change my pants, socks and booths in a private room, even after I had checked out. There's Netflix, prime and more directly on the TV, you need to log into your account. There's also YouTube on the TV and free wifi. I am very happy with my choice.
