The apartment was just as it looked in the photos, nicely decorated and furnished, comfortable, quiet and in a good location near transport and within walking distance to San Marco square. Francesca couldn't meet us, but sent along her lovely friend Barbara, who met us at the train station and pointed out places to eat and to buy groceries (though there was a supply of milk, eggs and butter when we arrived, which was really appreciated!). We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to other travellers.
