Amazing hosts! Francescas warm welcome was the perfect start to our time in Venice. She not only went over the apartment how-tos but sat down with us and a map to show us the major sites and some of her own recommendations. She also made sure we knew how to get to the train station for our last day. I can’t tell you how appreciated her kindness was after a long day of traveling. Maurizio’s detailed emails about the ins and outs of Venice before our stay were also so helpful in getting prepared. The apartment is beautiful; very clean, comfortable (provided pretty much anything you would need) and within short walking distance to everything. We would definitely stay with Maurizio and Francesca again!
