Francesca is a great host. She was very responsive, and very helpful. She even met us at the dock, which is a few meters from the front door. Francesca made a reservation for dinner at Osteria L’Orio Dei Mori, which was an excellent choice. She even booked our taxi. The apartment was confortable, and the best part of the apartment was the view to the Grand Canal. This was a very good experience for us.
