Francesca's apartment was perfect, in a lovely neighborhood which was was somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist zones, though still filled with a robust energy. The apartment was light and bright and a rejuvenating place to be after a hectic day exploring all of Venice - it's canals, and it's steps! and of cause the art and buildings. Francesca was gracious and accepting when we had no communication (unexpected sim problems) and were running late, and came to meet us almost two hours later than planned (sorry again) Francesca, too was to be holidaying whilst we stayed, yet was very open to maintaining contact during her holidays. Obviously we avoided the need to do this! I would highly recommend this apartment and I would most definitely return. Venice truly is a beautiful city. Thank you!
