The apartment was really terrific, in a great location, just a couple of blocks from Piazza San Marco. Francesca recommended Rossopomodoro, a restaurant maybe 10 meters from the apartment building, and it was so good that we ate there twice (the fried pizza was delicious.) Better even than the location or the apartment was our host, Francesca, making sure that we had everything that we needed to make our trip great. We were in Venice during the worst floods of the last 10 years, and Francesca was continually messaging us, telling us to bring rubber boots before we came, providing extra umbrellas, and explaining the flood alert system. With Francesca's help, the floods weren't scary, but instead just made the whole trip one that our family will never forget.
