Franco's apartment is one of the best we have experienced on AirBnB. It is perhaps 100 feet from the Santa Maria della Pieta church and thus very close to the Piazza San Marco.
Check-In was perfect thanks to the friendly Martino who met us at the church which is adjacent to the San Zaccaria water bus stop. Martino came back at 9:30am the day we checked out to pick up the keys. One thing to note: the maid comes at 10am to clean for the next guest so there is a fairly early check-out.
The apartment is beautiful with a great kitchen. We cooked every meal there while in Venice using the fresh and delicious local foods. Our meals saved us a lot of money and were delicious.
There is a washing machine but we did not use. The apartment also has air conditioning.
Franco was quick to respond to any questions.
Note: the apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Thus it is not suitable for visitors with mobility issues. Also note that Italian hotels and Franco comply with a law that they must record your passport information at check-in or before.
We had a great time and really loved this charming and well-appointed apartment. Thank you, Franco!
