We had a very nice time at Francesca’s apartment. Simple to arrive from the airport by Alilaguna Orange to the San Stae stop. She was not able to meet us to check in but sent her lovely parents instead, and they even made suggestions for nearby dinner spots. The grocery one block away was wonderfully convenient. This apartment is outside the most touristic areas, but certainly a manageable walk or boat ride. I deducted one star because even though it is a more residential area, the noise was an issue for us (noisy neighbors at night and horrendous birds at dawn). But in all a clean, modern, convenient apartment! Thanks Francesca.
