Great welcome from Francesca's mother and father, who are on hand at the property. Basic cleaning and food items provided, and a couple of treats as well.
The listing is accurate; the property is clean, amazingly well appointed and we made good use of the table outside in the garden.
The neighbourhood is quiet and off the beaten track, though only 5 minutes from San Stae on the Grand Canal, 15 minutes from Piazza San Marco on foot, and has good restaurants and bars, plus an excellent bakery nearby for breakfast.
