Everything about the accommodation was exactly as described or better. The house has its own private entrance and access to a private garden and tennis court which must be great in the heat and crowds of the summer.
Francesca is a fantastic host, she had everything ready for us, showed us around the apartment and gave us loads of tips on how to enjoy our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, when we couldn't get on the site to book the opera she did it all for us. This is something you should try as its like a private opera for 50 or so people, you sit in the set which is staged in an old palace on the canal with each act in a different room.
The location of the house is perfect, easy walking distance but not in the real crowded area but only 5 min walk from San Stae water bus stop.
A great weekend break, everything great, Venice, the house and Francesca.
