If I could have given more than 5 stars on any rating I would have! The description "best view in town" doesn't even do the home justice. You walk a lot in Venice and coming home to Francesca's beautiful apartment made me not feel guilty about resting as Venice's Grand Canal is right outside and you can continue to endulge in the beauty of the city. When we arrived we were given a blank map but by the time Olimpia (Francesca's wonderful sister) left she had it all covered in advice regarding how to get around along with wonderful places to eat and sights to see. As long as this home is available any time I am back in Venice I will be staying here and will recommend to any closest friend or family that they stay there as well. Great location, great view, and GREAT hosts. Grazie mille Francesca e Olimpia!
