Francesco is an exceptionally thoughtful host. First of all he reacted really fast and arranged everything which made it possible for me to make a last minute decision and travel to Venice. I went for the film festival and Francesco met me there and offered useful tips about how to get along there, which I really appreciated. I also met Francesco's assistant, Alec who was equally friendly and helpful. They both speak very good English. The room is very well located, has a lovely view, it is really quiet and is comfortably furnished. Both room and bathroom were clean and the apartment was pleasant and had a nice overall atmosphere. It was a great experience, I very much recommend it! Thanks Francesco!
