Francesca’s lovely studio apartment was perfect for my husband and I starting our honeymoon in Venice! It was sort of difficult for us to find, her directions were a little bit confusing, but I gave her a call and we figured it out. Her neighborhood has several outdoor restaurants and it is right by a nice park. It was more residential than the busy area filled with hotels near San Marco Piazza. It was just what we were looking for and really enjoyed our stay in Venice! Be prepared to walk up to the third floor. Francesca had told us it was on the second floor and we just found out from the next leg of our trip that in Italy the ground floor is 0.
