You will have room in traditional, large Venetian house slap-bag in centre of city (near Accademia and midway between St Marks and Rialto) with narrow canal (or might be river) lapping below window. Francesco and young friends are artists and super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Apartment is part studio and full of paintings and books and great place to retreat to for peace and quiet between sightseeing. Would love to stay there again on future visit to magical city.
