My son and I stayed at Francesca's apartment for 4 nights while visiting my daughter who is studying in Venice. We were met at the water bus stop by Andrea who took us to the apartment and informed us where the nearest supermarket was and recommended restaurants. Andrea was most helpful in setting up the bed in the second room for my son to sleep in. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and a joy to stay in - there is everything you need. The local area is fabulous - plenty of restaurants, bars, etc. - and, I think, is the best place to stay in Venice. We hope to come back to Venice soon - there is so much to see - and would definitely stay at Francesca's apartment again. Thank you Francesca:)
