We loved staying in Francesca's apartment! It is not far from the train station, though situated through twists and turns in a lovely, genuine Venetian neighborhood. We loved opening the windows and shutters and hearing the neighbors speaking Italian & their children playing. Francesca was very kind in fetching us when google maps led us to the wrong address. We even met her parents and young son, and all were very welcoming.
The apartment itself is spacious, very clean, with a large, comfortable bed. There were some treats left out for us, and the makings for coffee. There is a well stocked Coop store, situated in a charming square, and just a few minutes walk from the apartment. There is no wi-fi, but we knew that from the listing. Very nice place to stay in Venice!
