Francesca's place was great, I would highly recommend staying there! It was well-decorated, spacious, and the rooftop deck was AMAZING! It was in a great location, off the beaten path enough that there were no big tourist crowds (even since we went during Carnivale!), and it was down a street with shops and restaurants so things were very easily accessible (e.g., bars, a grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants). It was also only a 15 - 30 minute walk to the Piazza San Marcos or pretty much any other location on the island. We hope to be coming back sometime soon!
