Francesca’s apartment was right behind San Marco square with lots of restaurants and shops that are within walking distance. She was a wonderful host who stayed up late to guide me to the apartment. The location is unbeatable. You should wake up at sunrise to get the best photograph of San Marco Square while it’s empty without tourists. Pack light because there is no elevator and the apartment is on the third floor. The portable AC is extremely helpful cause the apartment can get really hot in the summer time. The apartment is clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
