My fiance and I stayed with Francesca for two nights while touring the city of Venice. Francesca was a FANTASTIC host, who made us feel very welcome right from the start. The few days we were there it was incredibly hot (95F both days), but by the canal with the windows open it was very comfortable. Francesca also made sure we had cold water straight from the fridge whenever we were hanging out at the room. She also prepared a nice breakfast each morning, which was enjoyed in the beautifully landscaped courtyard outside the apartment.

It's important to note that this room is probably 30min from the main attractions in Venice, on the nice quiet island of Giudecca. This was actually a very welcome break from the hectic tourist-filled areas of the main island, and it was nice to come home to a quiet room right on the canal.

I highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking to stay in Venice, you won't be disappointed!
