I had a great stay at Francesca's home. I had a late flight to Venice and was able to find the apartment easily and only 20 minute walk from the bus station. Francesca kept in touch and even offered advice about how to get to town from the airport at that time of night.
I stayed during the first weekend of Carnivale, one of the busiest times to visit Venice, the apartment offered a bit of peace and quiet after a busy day and night in the heart of Venice. The area the apartment is in is full of lovely local bars (bacaro) and restaurants with great local wines and food at affordable prices and for grabbing a coffee and breakfast in the mornings.
The apartment itself was clean and tidy and the bed was extremely comfortable. February is cold in Venice and there was a heater in the bedroom which was great to turn on just before jumping the in shower in the morning. Francesca was a great host, very welcoming and I would definitely stay again.
