We can't say enough good things or about the welcome and responsiveness we got from Francesca and Maurizio! The apartment was immaculate, beautiful, spacious, perfectly-located and well-equipped. Wi-fi was fast and reliable...and the portability was awesome! (If only every AirBnB host offered the same!) Francesca was waiting for us as promised when we stepped off the vaporetto, just a short, smoothly-paved walk from the apartment. She spent over an hour with us, even walking us around to get us oriented and indicating which restaurants to avoid and which she and Mauricio liked. (Thanks a million, Francesa! All came in so handy.) The bathroom is beautiful with its green Murano tiles and modern fixtures. The bed is large, comfortable (and not 2 smaller beds spliced together--a bonus in Europe). The gondola path right below the windows is a treat (if producing a bit of noise some mornings). Our only tiny quibble would be that we'd have liked heavy curtains as opposed to sheers, both for privacy and for darkness at bedtime. All in all, a wonderful stay and we'd love to go back.
