amazing stay!

central location quiet hotel venetian decor

the location was super central! i found it so easy to walk everywhere i wanted, including st mark's square, academia, and rialto. the venetian decor created such a nice vibe! the hotel was really quiet, i barely noticed anyone else was staying there.

i did notice a strong scent of air fresheners in the room, it gave me a bit of a headache. i wondered if it was covering another smell.
