Francesco's place is so conveniently located. It was very easy to reach from the airport, was in a very peaceful area, but just a couple of minutes walk to bustling squares and the main route down to Piazza San Marco. There are some good and reasonably priced bars and restaurants nearby, and a co-op less than 5 minutes away. The apartment itself is stylish, well equipped and has plenty of space. It was a great base for exploring Venice.
