This was my second stay at Francesca's apartment and I was looking forward to it as my first stay had been a wonderful experience. There were three of us staying on this occasion and we fitted very comfortably into the two bedrooms. Having the two bathrooms and washing machine made our stay even more comfortable. The living space is generous and the kitchen worked well for the three of us.
We enjoyed having our coffee outside in the beautiful, private garden. The wifi worked well throughout the apartment. My only negative comment is that the beds are very firm - for those who are used to a softer bed.
We arrived in Venice by train and, as per Francesca's instructions, we caught the vaporetto and after a short, straightforward walk, arrived at the apartment. The nearby piazza is beautiful and we enjoyed walking through it every day and watching the children play, locals catching up for a chat and many people enjoying a meal. Having the supermarket there was also very handy.
The manual in the apartment is very informative and useful - probably the best I have come across in airbnb apartments. We knew all there was to know for using the apartment but also for touring around Venice. I encourage others to read it.
Francesca and her family were very welcoming and made us feel like old friends returning home. I highly recommend this apartment.
