The apartment is fantastic! Francesca met us at the Alilaguna stop and the walk to the apartment took seconds. She showed us where everything was in the apartment and had a map ready to show us places to visit and eat. We tried many of the restaurants she recommended and found a few more to add to the collection of business cards in the apartment. We absolutely loved Venice and this apartment was a big part of why it was so great. It's close to Al Academia, San Marco Square, Rialto Bridge and the Theatro de Fenice. I highly recommend catching an opera or a concert there. And the mask shop, La Bottega dei Mascareri near Rialto Bridge is a awesome. We're looking forward to our next trip because four (4) days is just not enough.
