Our host gave us wonderful and accurate directions from the airport to her B&B. We arrived without incident and she made us feel welcome immediately. We had booked the Garden room because we were told by others that rooms on the canals were noisy. She switched us to the Canal Room as she had no other guests and it was bigger but it was also noisier. The second night, we found out we could close the shutters and put the fan on which helped with the noise problem. Francesca tried to accommodate my dietary needs to the best of her ability but she did not have gluten free bread or lactose free milk. I supplied both of those. She was, however, wonderful about keeping things in her fridge for me. She also did a laundry for us and provided me with a needle and thread to do mending. She also gave us great directions for which vaporettas to take depending on where we were headed and some great suggestions for places to eat in town. All in all we enjoyed our experience with Francesca; we enjoyed being in Giudecca and we would recommend it to friends who might be visiting Venice.
