I enjoyed staying in this very quiet residential neighborhood on the island, Giudecca. Francesca makes wonderful cappuccino and serves a nice continental breakfast in her garden. I stayed in the room that opens on to the garden and it was just lovely to wake up to a summer morning breeze and the quiet sounds of birds coming through the large open windows. The bed was comfortable and the bath includes both a shower and a tub- not easy to find in Venice, I understand. Everything was very clean and as described. Francesca is very friendly and gives excellent directions to both the nearby Vaporetto stops and the airport. She clearly loves her city and has great suggestions for how to enjoy the best of Venice without spending too much money. I would happily stay here again.
