Franco's place was the perfect base from which to explore Venice. It is about a 7-10 min walk to the Vaperetto dock and from there you can get a boat to all over Venice and the surrounding islands. The beach is about another 10 minute walk in the other direction.
Franco himself was kind and accommodating and the place was clean and homely. It was really well stocked with pots and pans ( we did most of our own cooking) and was generally a beautiful place to stay in a quiet neighbourhood.
Overall we had a great time and we we definitely recommend staying here to anyone.
