I meant to attach that post to the pic of the trashy courtyard in Murano. It probably made no sense attached to the pics of the hotel.
Nice choice, central to walking everywhere. I also always choose a hotel that is ~5 minute walk to both Ponte Rialto and Piazza San Marco. Did you know the Jewish "Ghetto" was invented by the Venetians in the 1500s? That's why "ghetto" sounds Italian (not German). You can still see the iron gates and holes in the building walls, where Jews were locked into the ghetto at night "to protect them."
