If you have never been to Venice it is it's own place of beauty, but you have to be prepared for it before you arrive because there are no cars. Francesca was great about giving us information regarding travel mistakes we had made as well as the different options (and pricing of those options) to get to her unit. It is Venice, and you will have to walk, but remember the walk to your destination is always longer than the walk home. Once you are checked in and have gotten a feel for it the neighborhood is fantastic. The unit was spacious and clean with large comfortable beds (very important to me). The wifi works in the back bedroom, so it is difficult to get the TV connected to it in the front living area. None of the interior door locks work, so if you want privacy from kids you had better make boundaries. The A/C was great even in the hottest weather. The unit is attached to the hotel next door and you can get a complimentary boat ride to Murano. They will hard sell you on their glass, but the presentation and stuff they have is nice. Murano works just to take a lazy walk around, snack at a cafe and look at the blown glass; then take the boat back to Venice. Buy a several day boat pass even if just to travel around and see the island from different perspectives. Highly recommend Francesca.
