My stay with Franco was one of my favorites on my big Italy trip. Franco and Ana made you feel right at home the minute you walked in the door. I loved how Franco took the time to chat with me almost every day either in the morning or at night about what I was doing/did and gave great insight/suggestions for things to do in the the area. The house was charming and the room was perfect for a solo traveler and the house was big enough to where I didn’t feel like I was intruding into their personal space or vise versa.
The location is great as it’s in a quiet little area of Castello; only a few minutes walk to the Rialto area. Definitely convenient when you don’t want to deal with the large tourist crowds and feel more like a local! If I ever have the opportunity to come back for a long stay in Venice I will definitely be looking up Franco!
