Our stay in Venice was delightful because of the wonderful apartment we booked with Francesca. The facility is impeccably maintained--clean, organized and very comfortable. It is on the first floor which makes it very easy to get to. The bed was very comfortable. One thing I would like to see is wireless Internet access, even for a few more Euros per night. The apartment backs up to a restaurant and if you keep the windows open, there can be occasional noise but nothing long or persistent. Other than that, it is a beautiful place to stay.
