Francesco's apartment is amazing, it's actually better then the pictures. It has everything you need for a holiday. We really appreciated the complimentary coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil etc. Lots of free shower gel and shampoo was another nice touch which meant we could really travel light. We spent a lot of our time on the wonderful terrace enjoying the view of the canal while drinking prosecco. The bed was really comfortable too and all the rooms were spotlessly clean. We were checked in by Luciana who was very helpful and told us some great insider tips of places to visit. This was my 5th time in Venice and one of the nicest places I've stayed in. I would totally recommend this apartment especially if you want a quiet oasis and the feel of untouristy Venice. Santa Croce is a lovely area and It's so easy to get there from the airport too, we were there in half an hour from leaving arrivals by express coach and short walk from Piazalle Roma.
Many thanks Francesco, we hope to come back soon.
