Hotel has a touch pad with a code for east entry after hours.
Perfect location! Only downside was tiny shower, and I mean tiny! But it worked and it was not a deal breaker at all. We skipped breakfast at the hotel as too many places to eat close by, (next door).
5 min walk from train station. Get up early and 6-7am to see empty streets and perfect photos!
Book a gondola ride, set prices so no haggling needed. They offered to hold our bags, but it was not needed.
Use the public transport for 24-48 hours on a pass you can buy at the pick up point by the train station. They hop on and off all over Venice for your whole stay. 2 days was plenty to explore for the first time.
