We enjoyed our stay at Francesco's airbnb, it was tucked away from all the touristy spots so that we could have peace and quiet from the noise. I will say that you need to be prepared to walk a bit more to get to the sights. The home was clean and spacious for our family of 4. We enjoyed the terrace at night (watch out for mosquitoes). The central AC was a relief. Many airbnbs in Italy have individual AC units in each room, but we were fortunate that this one was centralized. And yes, the stairs can be troublesome if you are not fit or older in age. You have been warned! We were greeted by a co-host, Luciana, who appeared to work for a property mgmt agency, Meet Venice? She was able to answer all my questions and get us situated with the apartment. I would definitely recommend this apartment to others.
