My two girls and I had a wonderful time in Venice; in no small part due to our host Francesca. The accommodation was exactly as described and the meet and greet was very smooth. Francesca went above and beyond expectations due to our late arrival. She mapped out a comprehensive tour for us with excellent recommendations for eating and some local tips for events specific to our stay. In summary she treated us like relatives while at the same time being appropriately discreet. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Francesca as a host.
