Francesca and Cristians place is fantastic. It has the perfect location close to Arsenale in a nice quiet area away from the crowds, but also within walking distance to all the major sites. They are fantastic hosts that will answer any questions you have anytime of day, very friendly. The apartment is very clean and has all modern fixtures and plenty of natural light with a great view of the canal a picturesque setting. If you are coming to Venice I cant think of a better place to stay!! I cant wait to return again. Thank you for your great hospitality!
