We really enjoyed Francesca's place. A very cool apartment that was close to the Rialto bridge area and a few minutes from St. Mark's plaza. There are also lots of restaurants & shops nearby. We loved opening the windows and seeing the rooftops of Venice, as well as enjoying the sunset views from her balcony. Very quiet and peaceful place - the only downside being that it's a rooftop apartment and many of the ceilings were short for me (6'1" tall). But a great value for a short trip in our opinion.
