Francesca and Maurizio were so great. You can tell they really value the people they host! Francesca was in constant communication to ensure we got there correctly and was waiting on us at the boat stop to lead us to the home. She then spent about 20 minutes showing us all of the details about the house, explaining the area and showing us a map, where we should eat, etc. And she is hilarious too! She is so Italian, in the most complimentary way. The apartment was in the perfect location to see the main sights without needing to take boats around. Plenty of shops and restaurants around too. The AC worked amazingly well and each room had an independent unit. The place was spotless and very quiet (granted I was here during the US travel ban so Venice was quiet in general). Awesome place, awesome hosts.
