The pictures of Francesca's apartment don't do justice to the actual place. It's much more beautiful, special and eccentric and the roof terrace overlooking the square is simply incredible. Cannaregio as an area will show you a very different side from Venice, away from the bigt tourist crowd, yet still lively and buzzling. we really enjoyed blending in with the locals who are sitting at the canals with their aperols (at any time of the day). One thing - take into account that you will have to pay an extra charge on arrival. It was written in the description, but all the way at the bottom so I missed it when I booked it. But overall next time I'm in Venice I hope I can stay here again!
