Francesca told us exactly where to meet her and at what time. We arrived early so we were thankful that she was able to meet us a little early. The location is absolutely perfect as you're staying amongst the locals however - it is a bit far from the train station for us as we were lugging massive bags with us and there are a lot of canals - which means a lot of stairs! But once you're there - the location is perfect! We loved it so much and there was a supermarket very close which was definitely a bonus.

Francesca runs a tight ship and was very particular about how things were done regarding the use of the space and timelines. However, she was kind enough to store our luggage for us on our checkout day while we had to wait for our train so we went for breakfast and coffee!

A few tips to make the experience better: A washer and dryer were advertised but don't forget to take your own detergent so you can freshen up your clothes during your travels. We were on a 4 week journey so it would have been nice to have it available, However, we bought some and left it for the next guest. You will have all of the equipment required to make espresso each day but don't forget to bring your own coffee as very little is provided. The shower is very small which made showering a little difficult for people of average height and above ( my wife is 5'7", I am 5'10").

Overall - I would highly recommend this place! It's perfect for your stay in Venice!
