This is the place you want to stay!
From the moment we got off the 5.2, Francesca was there waiting for us and provided us a wealth of info on Venice. We arrived at the apartment with her and she showed us all the features of the home and treated us to a bottle of wine and a snack. I highly recommend you listen to her restaurant recommendations, they were all great!
As for their home, it was absolutely wonderful. Spacious, bright and clean with a great layout. We loved the elevator, beautiful view outside their big windows of the canal, coffee maker (which she showed us how to use) and the use of umbrellas.
The location was perfect. Close to Rialto and St Marc's but far enough away to have a quiet night away from all the tourists that swarm those areas. Do yourself a favor and stay here! Next time we come to Venice, we will stay here again. You won't find a better home or host! Thanks a million!
