Francesca's place was pretty much just as pictured and described in her listing. She sent her lovely friend Sandra to meet us at the Rialto waterbus stop and she walked us to the apartment which was appreciated since although only a very few minutes away would have been a little hard to find on our own. Then Francesca walked us through the apartment via telephone which was fine with us. The location was perfect with a great coffee shop (Farini) right on the corner serving wonderful pastries, coffee and fantastic pizza. The rooftop deck was amazing although we were so busy we didn't have that much time to enjoy it. The 4-5 flights of stairs to the apartment can be challenging, especially when you arrive with your luggage so keep that in mind. Also if you forget something when you go out and have to reclimb, so make sure the stairs won't bother you, but otherwise a great property and a wonderful stay in beautiful Venice, so thanks Francesca for being an efficient and unobtrusive host.
