Francesco and Nina were great hosts. The apartment was very nice, clean, and well-furnished; the location was perfect; and the view was stunning! Francesco and his mother met me at the apartment upon my arrival in Venice and they made me feel immediately welcome and comfortable. They provided a guidebook and map and, as lifelong Venetians, gave me some tips about things to see and do -- as well as where to get supplies (groceries, etc.). Both Nina and Francesco were available to answer all of my questions and replied quickly. They were professional, friendly and flexible; I would absolutely recommend them as hosts. And I can't say enough about the location and the apartment itself. Just lovely. Highly recommended all around. Thank you Francesco and Nina! I'll be back!
