This hotel completely exceeded my expectations.
Starting with location; it's just a few steps away from San Marco square, and an easy walk to the Rialto bridge area. Dozens of bars, restaurants, gelaterias, and stores within a short walk.
Some very non-European amenities, like king-sized beds (with room to walk around them) and breakfast included.
The staff was exceedingly helpful starting months before our trip. When I would email questions (from Texas - 7 time zones away), I always got a helpful response within 20-30 minutes; usually from Chiara.
