My girlfriend and I have just come back from a wonderful 4 night stay in Venice. Francesca’s apartment is absolutely lovely and was ideal for our trip. It is round the corner from Strada Nuova so is perfectly located nearby shops and restaurants, and is only a 15 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge. However, it is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets so is lovely and peaceful. Francesca was an extremely pleasant and helpful host; her communications were prompt and she gave us helpful directions as how best to reach her apartment once landing at Marco Polo airport. The apartment itself was perfectly sized for the two of us and it felt like we’d found a real gem in the heart of Venice.
