Wonderful little place, just removed from the tourist areas.
The walk over the bridge from the train station is super easy... maybe 10min. The home is down a quiet little lane, with a garden area in the courtyard...a little wild and overgrown.
The building is wonderfully old fashioned and the room is on the 3rd floor... a walk up, typical of Europe. While small, the room is laid out very well and would be ideal for a couple + mom for instance.
The location is a bit of a walk to the Rialto... nothing too hard though. There is an amazing coffee shop very nearby and a grocery store nearby as well.
The only odd thing to me was the garbage situation. In Venice you take your trash to a boat in the canal...and in our case, between 630am and 830am. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and I'd highly recommend Francesco's place.
