Francesca's apartment is really a hidden gem in Venice. It's located in a nice and quiet courtyard but just a few steps from the fondamenta with its restaurants, bars and other stores. The apartment is nice and clean and equipped with everything you need for basic cooking and there are directions to supermarkets nearby. Francesca is a kind and attentive host who makes you feel right at home. The apartment has two floors, each with individual AC so the temperature insida was always perfect in the summer heat. The apartment itself is in historic surroundings but it's very new and modern. The perfect combination.
