From the moment we started emailing Francesca, we knew we were dealing with someone who 'went the extra mile'. She advised of some vegeterarian eating places, in response to my request and told us of many local eateries etc. Francesca greeted us at the apartment as if we were old friends and she and her brother explained all about the apartment. The apartment is truly wonderful - everything has been considered and all fittings etc are first class. We had very good wifi, a digital radio to plug the ipod into so we could listen to music as we cooked. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in - Emanuela - Francesca and Enrico's mother - left us some eggs and a few other supplies which was great to get us started. It's very close to the train station, not too far to Rialto and a healthy walk to San Marco. It is close to a lovely piazza - truly wonderful. I could go on but you get the picture. A wonderful apartment. There were only two of us but four people could stay quite comfortably.
