4 of us stayed at Francesca's apartment for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Francesca met us at the nearest boat stop and even helped us with our bags. She was also on hand throughout our stay when we wanted to find out where we could get a Gondola nearby (In the corner of San Angelos Square- a fantastic experience). Great host, Thanks Francesca. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The couch and TV are in one of the double bedrooms so If you're using all the bedrooms choose yours wisely! The balcony was big enough for 4 of us though and it was lovely to sit out there in the evenings. It's wonderfully quiet for such a central location. Although if you're lucky you might hear the occasional opera singer warming up for their performance at the nearby La Fenice theatre! Something to note if you're new to Venice-bring Insect repellant. The canals attract Mosquitos.
