We had a wonderful stay at Francesca and Rosa's apartment. Francesca provided wonderful directions that lead us exactly to the glass shop where we dropped our luggage prior to check in. We came in on the overnight train fro Paris so we're quite early with a 9:30 am arrival. It was wonderful to be able to drop the bags at their store to be able to explore Venice befor check-in. The apartment is spacious and in a perfect location. We had dinner across the street the first night and the food was fabulous. As well, location wise, this apartment is perfect. You are right in the middle of things yet still in a quiet little off street so at night it was perfectly quiet. As well, if you've ever been to Venice before, you know how easy it is to get lost. The access to this apartment from the 1 Vaperetto was so simple to find, and only one bridge crossing. I kept thinking how lucky we were to be staying there every time I saw people struggling with their bags trying to find their hotels! The beds were very comfortable and the apartment is decorated very tastefully. We would definitely recommend the apartment to others! And one last thing, it was a bit rainy the two days we were in Venice, but the in floor heat in the apartment made it feel so cosy!!
