We had a wonderful stay in Venezia and this was the perfect place to stay. We were met by a friend of Francesca and she really made sure we were all set. She met us at the Water Bus stop and walked us to the home. She gave us everything we needed and the communication between both Francesca and her friend were great. The location was right in the middle of Venice and it was easy to walk everywhere. The home is right on a canal (not a main one) and we could sit out and watch a few Gondola's go by some of which had music. We sat out every morning and night on the back terrace to enjoy our coffee and wine. The back terrace was quiet and private and we could even watch the neighbors cats. There were five of us and we fit just fine. The home had everything we needed. It was in a nice neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and we were close to a grocery store.
