We started and ended our two week Italy trip in Venice at Francesca's place. The location is perfect, just a 5 minute walk from the vaporetto stop, with plenty of restaurants and shops just steps from the door. While close to the action, the apartment is still quiet back in the bedrooms so we had no trouble sleeping. Francesca was helpful and quick to respond, and Rosa was very kind. This is a great place to stay while exploring Venice!
