Francesco's apartment is in the perfect location for visiting the Biennale and St Mark's. It is only a few minutes from Arsenale boat pier, so it was easy to travel from the airport and to explore other islands. The apartment itself is beautiful, spacious and light. I could have spent hours looking out over the canal, if there wasnt all of Venice to explore close by! Francesco made us feel at home with a well-stocked kitchen and local restaurant recommendations. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a peaceful base close to the tourist sights.
