helpful staff kind attitude welcome drink small room narrow stairs few gondolas
The staff was helpful from the beginning. They had a kind attitude. A welcome drink and a few appetizers were offered, I liked that. I left my luggage at the reception.
My room was quite small. The stairs were narrow with no elevator. It was not easy for me as I am not so young. I also noticed that gondolas passed in a narrow canal outside my window, though not as many as I expected.
