Francesca & Gianluca's apartment was much larger than expected! It was easy to find (once we'd figured out the numbers on the houses!) and only a 10 minute walk from the bus/train station. The apartment is in the student area of Venice, which really suited us - cheaper food and drinks and lovely local areas to relax in. There were beautiful squares and lots of wine bars - look out for the 60cent wine! We would 100% stay in Francesca's apartment again. We loved the area of San Marco but found it extremely touristy and expensive! It was only a short walk to reach the area when we did visit.
