If you're looking for a wonderful apartment in the heart of Venice, this is a perfect choice. We were met at the Rialto ferry and escorted directly to Francesca's lovely flat a short walk away. Be prepared for lots of stairs, but well worth it. The apartment is clean and appears recently renovated with state of the art modern upgrades, including air conditioning, wifi, and washer/dryer. Beautiful bathroom and shower, great big kitchen, and a lovely porch overlooking the Venice rooftops. Francesca is quick to respond to any questions and need for directions. We highly recommend Francesca!
