We stayed in Franco's apartment for three days while we visited the Venice Biennale. It was a perfect place to stay, in a great part of Venice. The walk between the apartment and the Giardini/Arsenale has some nice cafes and some very good local restaurants, that seem to be a bit off the main tourist path. Of course, it is also ideally located if you want to visit the main sights of Venice. The apartment had everything one could need (even umbrellas for a sudden thunderstorm), the wifi works, and getting the key, communications etc were all smooth and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
