We had a lovely stay at Francesco’s apartment. We were a family of 4 plus my parents, so it worked to have a place we could all stay rather than two separate rooms in a hotel. It’s on the third floor of an old building and there’s no lift, so it was a big of sweat and back breaking to carry our big case upstairs, but once in the flat, it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. We didn’t need it but there’s also a washing machine, although we couldn’t find pegs to hang the washing outside or a drying rack to use inside. It’s a bit quirky with some floors on a bit of a slope, but it’s part of the character of the building. The location is excellent. It’s only a few minutes walk from San Marco Square and it’s round the corner from a coop, so the first day we went out in the morning, then we grabbed some food from the coop and then we went back to the flat for lunch and some rest to go out again after lunch for more sightseeing.
