The apartment was everything as described and more. It is centrally located and away from a lot of the congestion. It is perfect for experiencing the Venice culture away from all the tourists. Francesca's mother is a wonderful host, friendly and helpful in any way. We could not be happier with choosing this listing and we recommend this to anyone that wants to experience Venice close to neighborhood settings. It is close to several squares where the families come out in the mornings and evenings where you can enjoy the true Venetian lifestyle. Wonderful time and we hope to be back some day and will definitely stay here again.
