Francesco and Nina are wonderful hosts! They communicated very well through the whole booking, check-in and check-out process. Their apartment is clean and well-maintained, and the location is terrific, convenient to St. Mark's Square and Rialto. (It takes a little bit of effort to find, but then everything in Venice does! Nina provided very detailed written instructions on how to get there from various arrival points in the city. Once you have gotten your bearings a bit, you can navigate back pretty readily.)
We especially appreciated Francesco's walk-through upon arrival, and his advice with respect to getting to the train station for our planned day trips out of the city. Nina's restaurant recommendations are great; we had excellent meals at two of the places she suggested. And superb gelato at a shop Francesco recommended around the corner!
