My family and I had a great time at this apartment. We arrived in Venice by plane and took a private water taxi directly to the door of the building. Francesca thought it best to talk to the taxi driver herself so I called her when we landed and she explained to him in Italian how to get to her apartment. The apartment is located directly on the grand canal with amazing views (obviously!) Francesca's sister met us at the apartment and gave us a tour before heading out. There is two bedrooms with large beds (queen?) and one very small room with bunk beds. That bedroom is tiny so we had to leave the luggage for that room in the hallway. The back bedroom that isn't on the canal is probably the quietest. Off of the bedroom on the canal there is a small window with a bench where you can sit out and relax. When my husband sat out there to read all of the tourists on boats passing by couldn't help but take pictures of him, it was really funny! It's not every day that you can stay on the grand canal with your whole family for an affordable price. It was a great experience for us. One night there was even a lightning storm and was very fun to watch from the windows! The location is also great, a little hidden road to the apartment but very close to all the walking attractions. Venice is a walking city so we enjoyed it very much. We had one issue that was taken care of very quickly and we think we unfortunately left something behind that was not found but I guess that can happen. Another small note is that the bathrooms are much more of a European style, not American, so do not expect a big space/shower. Overall, the location and apartment itself were awesome and Francesca was very accommodating to our group! Thank you again!
