Location is very important and Francesca's place is in a perfect location! It is 2 minutes from Piazza San Marco and 2 minutes from a Coop (grocery store). It is also minutes walking from shops and excellent restaurants. It is a wonderful 'home base' from which to see everything in Venice and the surrounding islands. It is spacious, well equipped and comfortable. Even in the heat of August, it was always cool in the apartment. Being connected with Hotel All'Angelo was a bonus as the staff at the hotel were very helpful with making reservations and bookings for us, as well as providing maps and tourist information. Francesca was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. I highly recommend this apartment.
