Fran's place is ideal for a trip to Venice! It is very central, and everything is within walking distance (we could get to the other side of the islands with no problem by foot). The room was huge, and Fran had very kindly left suggestions for places to eat and shop.
Although he could not meet us to take us to his place as we were delayed, he arranged for his co-host to kindly take us there.
It was perfect!
