I wasn’t sure about being in this area when I first booked it. Originally I thought being in the centre of Venice would be better. But I was wrong. Francesco’s place was ideal.
We were 15 - 20 minutes walk from the Train station. No additional water bus needed. No complications when you arrive. Directions were simple. Stay left walk to the bridge and meet you there. Perfect. Getting back to the Train Station is even easier because you don’t need the water bus.
The apartment is located closer to where the locals hang out, so not so touristy. Everything is right there. Bar, restaurants, pharmacy, etc. The water bus to Murano and Burano are 5 minute walk away. Very close.
Venice is deceivingly small. It isn’t a long walk to anywhere. The Grand Canal 10 minutes, the Square 20 minutes. The challenge is finding specific places like out of the way restaurants. It can be a maze at things.
Francesco’s apartment is very clean and comfortable. We faced the Main Street and yet it was very quiet to sleep. The bedroom was very big.
The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything we needed. We never ate here because we were constantly on the go. There is so much to see and do.
Communication with Francesco was terrific. He was constantly available for us.
Thank you for a wonderful comfortable stay.
