Francesca's place was AMAZING. Centrally located (2 minute walk from St. Mark's Square), overlooking a canal and away from all the "touristy" part of town when one first enters Venice. I would stay here over the finest hotel any day of the week with the amount of room we had and the balcony - it is an amazing value for the money one would spend. Francesca was so kind and the bottle of wine she provided was delicious.
Thank you Francesca!
