Francesca's place was ideal!...It is located on the second floor on a quiet street that is a pleasant 10 -15 walk from the water bus station. The outside patio is lovely. The apartment is near a great supermarket, many restaurants, a pharmacy, etc. Most important you could easily walk to the water bus station...Some people on Lido need to take a bus from the station to their residence/hotel. Her mother met me on the street which was most appreciated and gave a great orientation to the apartment in good English. The kitchen was fully equipped so I could shop locally and do my own cooking. As a cat lover I especially enjoyed the neighbor's cat who would be waiting for me outside the gate. I definitely would stay there again!
