Francesca was so helpful in helping us find the apartment and giving us recommendations for touring the area and places to eat (we really enjoyed her suggestion for dinner that night; one of our favorite places on the trip). She waited for us for an hour (in a thunderstorm) when our flight was delayed and we arrived later than expected at the vaporetto stop. The apartment is quite charming and we enjoyed watching from the front windows as the gondolas went by; hearing the singing and music when we woke up in the morning. The apartment is very quiet, comfortable, and well located for sightseeing.
