Francesco is a wonderful man who greeted us warmly at checkin. The location is amazing, the apartment is huge, and the canal is right outside your window! There is no air conditioning and only two fans, so we were very hot in July (something to be aware of). Adding AC or more fans would help a lot. Some screens may need repair to prevent mosquitos, possibly adding privacy blinds over open windows, and maybe a sponge for washing dishes. Also be aware that Venice curfew allows nearby hotel to have events until 11:30pm, so one night out of two there was music from nearby Ca Nigra up until we went to bed. Overall, this space is a good choice in Venice that has the potential to become one of the best AirBnBs in town :)
