Everything about this trip was perfect. Francesca was very helpful beforehand, even booking a restaurant for me. We arrived later than expected due to flight delay but we were directed to the flat and met by her sister and made to feel very welcome. The views are indeed stunning and I took some fantastic photos of the grand canal at all times of day - getting up to see sunrise then climbing back into bed! The whole area was ideal. Went to some lovely restaurants Serenissima around the corner and in the fund. De misericordia. Easy to travel around. We took a gondola ride from the church around the corner - it's great that there is a price structure nowadays so avoiding g any hassle.
