Fabulous place!! Exactly as described in the listing. The view of the Grand Canal is nothing short of spectacular. We were very promptly met upon arrival by Francesca's sister Olimpia. She gave a very thorough explanation of the apartment and then provided us with a great listing of restaurants, sights and shops that we referred to over and over. It was perfect!
The location is great! Out of the fray of the crazy-busy parts of the city but an easy walk to get to them. We enjoyed the neighborhood tremendously.
The apartment itself is very comfortable. The bedroom facing the canal does have low ceilings (careful if you're over 6 ft tall!) but it's large, airy and bright. The rear bedrooms are lovely and quiet. The kitchen was very well equipped. Overall just a wonderful place to stay with fabulous hosts!
