Fran was a wonderful host providing and sharing with the comfort of his home. Having Fran meet us was great especially in a different country and Venice is a place you could get lost (in a nice way). The map of Venice had details of suggested eating places, although we discovered one that was brilliant (Fran also knows this well). The apartment is as described clean, plenty of room and bed. We bought food at the market near Rialto bridge, can recommend butcher & cooked in Fran's kitchen. It was also great to get some washing done for the ready of our travelling. The location is brilliant, not so busy & quiet at night yet easy to walk to lots of Venice beautiful sights. Would recommend staying here with Fran.
