Francesca was a great host and her apartment in the heart of Venice is very special to us! She met us promptly at the vaporetto stop and walked us through the maze of small streets to make sure we arrived at the apt. safely and gave us some great info. on restaurants and sightseeing. After staying there for three nights in September, we wished we could have stayed longer! We especially loved the little patio off the kitchen where church bells rang in the late morning and we could enjoy a glass of wine each evening at sunset. The bedrooms were spacious and having gondoliers right out our window was a real treat! We felt like we were really living in Venice for three magical days! Grazie Francesca!
