I had a very good experience staying at Francesco's apartment in Venice. Francesco and his flatmate were not home very often so I had the kitchen, courtyard and bathroom to myself! The private bedroom included everything I needed. The apartment is under 10 minutes walk from the bus stop for very easy arriving and departing Venice. Francesco meet me at the bus stop when I arrived. There are also many boat stops within 10/15 minutes walk to get around Venice easily. I would recommend to everyone to stay here if you are in need of affordable accommodation including a kitchen in Venice.
Also Francesco replied to questions within a few minutes when I wrote him phone messages.
