What a great place to stay! Would recommend it to anyone planning a stay in Venice. Fran met me bear the train station and walked me over to his flat which was only 2 minutes away. The flat was very clean and quiet and I felt very at home when I stayed there. I stayed in both rooms a night in each (single and double) and they were both very spacious and great value for money! Fran was very helpful I'm providing some tips on where to go and where to eat etc which helped me effevtively plan the short stay I had in Venice.
