Francesca's apartment was perfect for a family of 4, spotlessly clean and functional and decorated to a good standard, with interesting books dotted about. It's spacious too - with a bath, good kitchen and comfortable double bed in the master bedroom It's incredibly quiet at night times, but only a minute away from little restaurants (Restaurant Diana was our favourite - very unpretentious, good value delicious food) plus a couple of supermarkets and a myriad of small shops all facing the canal. It really felt like a different area of Venice even though it was only a 15 minute walk to Rialto Bridge.

Francesca was a lovey host, meeting us at 11pm at night in the snow and stacking the fridge with breakfast items.
We absolutely loved our stay in Venice and had the best time - thank you Francesca!
