Francesca was a FANTASTIC host. Before arriving, she and I kept in close contact via airbnb messaging as well as text. As soon as we arrived, she excitedly welcomed us into her lovely (and clean) home. She showed us the room (garden room) that was exactly as pictured. She gave us a map and showed us where to catch the water taxis and how to get a three day pass (for young people). She informed us of breakfast etc. She also suggested that we go to an art exhibition that comes around Venice once every two years. You could sense she had a lot of pride in her city. Her friend, Maria, who cleaned the house every day was also extremely nice - I had a nice conversation with her in Spanish.

This place is not too close to the city center; however, it's the perfect gettaway to escape all the people and traffic. I definitely recommend this place, and I would stay here again!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
