Francesca has indeed a Luxury Apartment as described, the pictures are accurate. When we reached venice, we were greeted and taken to our home by a very lovely lady, she showed us the home and also showed us the kitchen utilities. The apartment is indeed luxurious and in a nice and quiet location behind the La Maddalena church - hence easy to locate. Francesca was always available while communicating and helped us with our queries, her instructions were also very clear and accurate - indeed and excellent host. There are good pizzeria's around, I would definitely recommend Antico Forno's pizza near rialto bridge, its expensive and tastes just awesome. We had a very wonderful time at Venice, thanks to Francesca's apartment
