Francesco’s place was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Just as he described...the flat was sparkling clean, modern with a Venetian touch. The 1700 style building was amazing. It’s a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist crowds, great to relax after a long day of walking. The area itself it very nice, it’s right next to Arsenale Palace very neat place. Only about a 10min walk from St Marks Square. I definitely recommend this place to anyone! We were so lucky to be the very first guests, Francesco was a gem, he met us at the vaparetto stop and was such a gentleman to help with our luggage. He gave us a short history of the area and was very personable. Always responded back very quickly and gave us recommendations. He made our experience in Venice an absolutely memorable one. We will definitely return!
