Francesca is lovely and meeting up with her via water taxi from the airport was very smooth. She suggested some markets and areas to explore for restaurants and provided a map as well. The flat is in fabulous location; the Canareggio is a wonderful area with good restaurants and lots of boutiques away from the super-touristy centre.
In the front bedroom the views are brilliant, but I found the bed uncomfortable (it was an Ikea go-Kart mattress), and the lack of door (it has drapes) and distance to the loo a bit challenging.
The box-room with folding beds wasn't feasible for my adult daughter so she slept on the sofa. When you add in the cash fees for City tax and cleaning, the nightly rate was on the high side for me given it was off-season (as much as Venice has one). I was unable to make my VPN work with the wifi, but luckily I didn't need to access my work files.
